Blood DK duels are fun! It's one of those bosses you guys will probably overlook, but I didn't think he'd be doable this tier at all, let alone next tier. If you just watch my health bar, you'll see I (nearly) never lose hp. That's the whole strategy - everything needs to be absorbed into Blood Shield. If he lands a melee hit, he heals himself for 50k+ - considering its attack speed let's say his health goes up VERY quickly. Non-absorbed melee hits from Blood Beasts also means he gains Runic Power, and thus attacks even faster and breaks my shields faster, then drops a Mark and literally crushes my Blood Shields. The longer I keep Saurfang in check, the longer I can DPS him down - I only got his mark at 29% and while my shield was at a nitfy 150k+, ensuring a clean kill. Saurfang gains a tiny bit of Runic Power through some ability (his blood boil or something), so I can't keep him in check forever, but long enough. I stack mastery and stamina as much as I can while retaining enough DPS to beat the enrage. Bone Shield reduces damage taken by 20% but charges aren't consumed since the hits do not deal actual damage. I'm using quite a few tricks to pump out my absorbs, using cooldowns to pump out more and bigger shields and defensive cooldowns to protect them.. as you can see at some point his runic power goes up VERY quickly when the absorb fades.
