Rethilgore
Level 20 elite · Prison cells at the keep's entrance
Prison fight with Bleak Worgs at his side. Kill the worgs, then Rethilgore, and heal whoever Soul Drain roots.
Watch for
Soul DrainHeal through
2-sec cast that roots a player for 10 sec and drains health to heal him; Forever data lists a larger drain.
Wavering WillDispel magic
Cast by his Bleak Worgs: slower attacks, casting and movement for 1 min.
Group plan
Tank
Gather Rethilgore and his worgs, then hold the worgs while the group kills them. Soul Drain can root a player out of position, so don't drag the pack away from them.
Healer
Keep the tank first and top off whoever Soul Drain roots. Soul Drain and Wavering Will are both magic, so a priest can Dispel Magic them.
Damage
Kill the Bleak Worgs first, then Rethilgore. Soul Drain heals him, so keep damage steady instead of stopping and starting.

Level 19-20 elite · Courtyard stables; the horses pull together
Optional
Optional stable pack. The horses pull together and Fel Stomp stuns everyone near them, so crowd control one and tank the rest.
Watch for
Fel StompStay back
Hits players near the horse, stuns them 3 sec and raises Physical damage taken; Forever data lists higher values.
Group plan
Tank
Pick up the horse the group kills first. Let a pet or off-tank hold a second while the third stays crowd controlled. Expect 3-sec stuns from Fel Stomp.
Healer
Stand out of stomp range so you are never stunned. Heal the tank through each stun, since stomped players take extra Physical damage.
Damage
Kill one horse at a time. Ranged stay back from the pack; melee expect stuns and keep a defensive ready.
