Level 48 rare elite · The Butchery, in the outer temple before the instance portal
Rare
Rare elite outside the portal who bleeds the tank and enrages late in the fight; let the tank settle him, then burn him down.
Watch for

Enrages at low health, raising his damage and attack speed.
Group plan
Tank
Give yourself a couple of seconds to build threat before anyone attacks. Rend bleeds you all fight and his hits grow when he enrages, so save a defensive cooldown for that.
