I had 3 near death experiences with my current iron.
1) Nethergarde Mines in Blasted Lands. It's packed with mobs and they can respawn all over you at once, my hunter almost died after the patch because I was still used to trap, and there's no more trap 2) Lashh'an Matriarch in Blade's Edge Mountains. So I was face rolling in Blade's Edge Mountains on my 69 iron and suddenly the screen started to flash and I was like 10% health. I had no idea what the fuck happened so I use Feign Death but there was nothing around. Then I checked the log and I saw there "Impending Doom hits you for 4500". My total health was like 5200, so I was very lucky being at full... 3) Iceshatter in Dragonblight. So I killed this ice fucker and looted it and went on my business when I saw the health dropping very fast, then the screen started flashing, what the fuck. I thought I aggroed some wandering dragon, but nothing around. Again the log showed a lot of Pulsing Shards damage. I think I was level 78 and still almost died.

Once Brittleiron said that these are from Rogue's assassination questline I have made a class trial to try it.
There are level 100 monsters located in Duskwood and Blasted Lands, and while in Blasted Lands I don't really think they'll be an issue (located near the edge of the map in some bone throne cultist looking place) then in Duskwood they're really dangerous (rip me) - please avoid Raven Hill, doing quests in Darkshire is enough to move to Stranglethorn.
Do you guys have done any other artifact questlines? Any world monsters you remember?

the windwalker monk artefact questline go to Uldum, in the ruins of Ahmtul (north of the zone, approximately in the middle, coord 45,13). Went there with another toon and it seems phased

there is a phased part inside Manor Mismantle in Duskwood, but I saw a high lvl warlock get out and fight a 'Dark Rider' outside the house. So be careful

Bored with dailies I tried the artifact quest chain. First with a scout of course, feral druid at 101. I managed to beat the first boss with 20% health left and an instant heal (27k) still lit on the bar. Not bad I thought, got flight point and opening quests in Val'Sharah.
Trying with the live Ash at 103 didn't go so well. The fight proceeded much like the first pass on the scout, I had the named mob down to 1/3 health and I was just over half. Was just thinking I had this licked when it double crit me for 60k each, only had 100k left, lights out.
Quick review reveals the following: At 101 the named 100 mob had 299k health to my 145k, just over 2x. At 103 the named 102 mob had 462k to my 190k, 2.4x. If you even think about trying the artifact quest chain do it at 101 because the mobs scale much quicker than your iron will.
Hopefully no one beats my 103 on the honored dead list.

RIP Ash, we mentioned you at the podcast and how dangerous Legion is. Might up being artifact weapon is a no-go. Lyssan hitting 108 and going is a good sign you don't need it. Just jump off Dalaran and swim/glide. Hurry back with another toon

I know I already said this in Discord, but I noticed that the quest "Resistance is Futile" in the Ruins of Gilneas (part of the Silverpine Forest questline) glitched for me. The NPC help that should have spawned to help me didn't, and if it weren't for a quick application of Divine Shield, my iron paladin would be dead.
Will I be doing this quest again on this iron? Of course not; I got the NPC help to spawn and completed it, and I can't really do the same quest twice on the same character, can I?
Will I be doing it on future irons? Probably. I freaking LOVE the Silverpine Forest questline, and it's low enough level that, now that I know I need NPC help for this particular quest, I feel comfortable trying it again on a future iron. That said, I am EXTREMELY inexperienced with this whole iron thing, so I might not be the best person to ask.
Moral of the story, though: The NPC help is given to you for a reason. Use it.
UPDATE: I found more areas that require NPC help at the very end of the Silverpine Forest questline - specifically, the part where you're fighting the 7th Legion and capturing Lorna Crowley. Even with the NPC help, DO NOT DOUBLE PULL HERE!

QUESTION:
Is halloween quest chain (the one starting with "A friend in need", as far as I remember you got a creepy crate pet at the end) safe? It rewards some pretty sweet XP but idk if it won't kill me on the spot.

That questline is pretty safe until the very end, when (for Alliance) you must go down into the cathedral crypt and interrupt some dude. He will spawn at your level or higher and can kill. But for all my toons, I went down there when it was busy, and many other players there smacked anything that spawned. I would not try it solo.
Hey, speaking of Hallow's End, in SW, mage district, there is Robby Flay - he gives a quest to go gather pumpkins. Reward is regular XP and +1 to Cooking. Does that trigger that you've learned cooking?

'SterRobby Flay gives cooking dailies and his quests require cooking to obtain and start. I'm 99% certain that there is no special Hallow's End pumpkin collecting quest from him. For the record: www.wowhead.com/quest=26153 (Penny's Pumpkin Pancakes) is the daily I'm talking about, it requires cooking to see, obtain and complete, so shouldn't even be able to see it as ironman.

The quest where you climb a tree and throw the cubs at the tramp, twice in my last 4 tries it has kicked me out of wow when i got to the top. When I log back in, it then drops me from that height. This time i had less than 5 percent health when I landed. Skip, or have some slow fall ready when you log back in. Asy said same thing happened to him.

Avoid Silverpine. All of Silverpine. And no, I'm not kidding. There are too many elite mobs that can end an iron too easily. So as much as I like Silverpine, I have to recommend that it be avoided for an iron.
