I nearly died in Northern Stranglethorn Vale a few days ago. The last quest of the Big Game Hunter series is to kill King Bangladesh... a seemingly easy task because he only has 900 hp. Well, little did I know, he spawns 3 adds when you encounter him. I basically had to nuke him down and kite/flee from the remaining 3 adds. After they lost aggro, I ran back and looted the quest item.

I was about to begin what's mined is yours in Jade Forest when my wife called for help. I jumped into the wagon, and went to help her. When I came back I was dead. During the travel with the wagon, you get attacked by at least 5 mobs (around 85-86) that don't loose aggro along the way. So be careful if you do that quest

Wheres the juicy details, were they in a valentines embrace, falling off a cliff together, that would be so romantic. My heart practically melts thinking about it. Maybe someone tried going to Warlords at 90-91, that would be silly, couldn't be that. What did the bodies look like or have you not retrieved them yet?

So, just thought I would mention it, East side of Eastern Plaguelands theres a huge elite mob called Garginox. He actually has a very quick, but delayed, patrol around the area. He'll sit in one spot for ~2 minutes then patrol very quickly to a new spot. Nearly caught me.

Tirisfal Glades - A Daughter's Embrace. If you aggro a mob inside the tower before Voss goes inside, the mob disappears and is still attacking you. You can't attack back.

If anyone is leveling at 100+, avoid Azsuna now. There's currently a glitch going on that lets mobs stack on top of each other so they look like one, but after you kill it there's another one underneath and another one just like Matrioshka.
Also, they deal all their damage at once, so one hit can be fatal for geared 110s, not even mentioning Irons.

Be VERY careful in Un'goro now! After the holiday event there, the devilsauts are still scaled to your level.
My 66 druid pacifist had two archeology digsites in Un'goro that I was waiting for the event to end before going there to excavate them. While at the Screaming Reaches digsite, I saw two lvl 66 Elite devilsaurs in the area at the same time, one of them the named one, the other was one of the white ones.
Considering how they seem to just appear and disappear into the mist, they aren't easy to track with raid markers (which is what i do for Fel Reavers in Hellfire. I decided it wasn't really safe, and didn't want to risk it since the aggro radius for a mob at your own level is a lot different from the previous levels of those devilsaulrs.
The 2nd digsite on my map was at the Tar Pits, and I didn't try that one today, being shaken enough by the other close encounters. That area might not be as likely to have the devilsaurs there, but I don't know that for suince i on't know if they added/changing pathing patterns with the holiday event.
I really don't like the way Blizz is using these mini holidays to inroduce scaling mobs to old world regions that persist after the end of the holiday events.

As Stone guessed in the podcast yesterday, I mainly use my tinman to scout how to lvl to 110 Here is a little account of what I did to get the record of 18 deaths on the tinman . All happened in WoD or Legion Warlords of Draenor - the defense of Karabor : after killing the first boss, on your way to the Harbour there will be some circles in the ground where bombs will soon drop, you have about 1 second to get out of the way while fighting other mobs. Died many times
- Yggdrel : that rare will 'trap' you on some vines that will make it very hard to hit the rare or the vines. Died 2 times trying it (haven’t succeded yet, at 101 or 102)
- Strike while the iron is hot : all you have to do is avoid the ironstars that comes once in a while. Failed once
Legion - Died a couple of times opening the class hall on my monk
- Died a couple of times getting the windwalker artefact weapon. I changed spec before looting the weapon, so did not equip it. It now stays safely in the bank
- Died a couple of times trying to kill Legion mobs
Edit : the Legion deaths could have been avoided if I had Shadowmeld

Just lost my L83 paladin to the "Magma Monarch" quest at the very end of Hyjal. I'd recommend all irons avoid this one. Tortolla is easily overaggroed (especially in protection spec) and the boss mob hits for 12k+ on plate, which one-shot me in retribution spec. Also there's another elite mob on the little island who joined in the fight.

Dang Zador, sorry for the 83 loss. Really good run, hope you re-roll. Yeah, thanks for the info about Magma Monarch. In general, once I'm in Cata, MoP, and WoD, I pretty much skip the end-boss fights. The points would be nice but can be made up with a couple of dailies or finding a chest or two. I appreciate that advice varies based on class/race, but in general, all irons are fragile, and seems like boss quests vary a little bit too, sometimes they get a crit, sometimes they don't. Of course, this is from the guy who said not to desecrate Horde bonfires during Midsummer Festival and I ended up putting a bunch of them out... :- )

For future attempts at 83 you should be finishing off ice crown then you should be 85 maybe 86 then open up the firelands dailies
Those quests are scarey and that one i always avoid

Playing prot pally I went to Northrend at 70, was 80 by the time I cleared to the end of Dragonblight, went to Hyjal at 80 to test the waters and really had no issues there up to the very last quest :s Will try the same again and once I get to the same point will definitely use my dead iron to scout out quests after that.
