Trogg caster with two Stonevault Rockchewers; interrupt his lightning, control an add, and loot the Shaft of Tsol.
Watch for
Chain LightningInterrupt
3 sec cast that arcs Nature damage from player to player.
Lightning BoltInterrupt
3 sec cast that hits one player for Nature damage.
EnrageCrowd control
Stonevault Rockchewer adds can enrage and hit harder.
Group plan
Tank
Pull Revelosh and any free Rockchewer together. His bolts go to the top threat target, so hold threat firmly and turn the pack away from the healer.
Healer
Stand at max range and apart from others so Chain Lightning arcs less. Expect Nature damage on the tank and anyone near them.
Damage
Control one Rockchewer, then burn Revelosh. Put interrupts on Chain Lightning first. Loot the Shaft of Tsol; it joins the Gni'kiv Medallion to make the staff.
Each class
Druid · your class
In Bear Form, Bash a Chain Lightning cast. Forever lets Entangling Roots work indoors, so root a Rockchewer away from the healer.
Hunter · your class
Lay Freezing Trap before the pull and lead a Rockchewer into it; Forever traps also work in combat. Viper Sting (36) drains his mana.
Mage · your class
Polymorph one Rockchewer before the pull. Save Counterspell for Chain Lightning, the cast that hurts the group most.
Paladin · your class
Hammer of Justice stops a Chain Lightning cast. Run Concentration Aura so his lightning pushes back your heals less.
Priest · your class
Keep Renew on the tank and Power Word: Shield whoever the lightning arcs to. With the Silence talent (30), stop a Chain Lightning.
Rogue · your class
Sap a Rockchewer before the pull; in Forever, Sap no longer breaks Stealth, so you can still open. Kick each Chain Lightning.
Shaman · your class
Earth Shock his Chain Lightning. Grounding Totem (30) near the healer soaks one of his spells every 10 sec.
Warlock · your class
Curse of Tongues slows his casts by 50%. A Felhunter's Spell Lock (36) counters a Chain Lightning; keep it for that cast.
Warrior · your class
Shield Bash or Pummel (38) stops Chain Lightning. Thunder Clap, usable in Defensive Stance in Forever, holds a free Rockchewer.

Passive chance to reflect spells cast at it back at the caster.
Summon Obsidian ShardKill adds
At 66% and 33% health he splinters off two non-elite Obsidian Shards.
Splintered ObsidianKill adds
Each splinter lowers the physical damage he deals.
Group plan
Tank
Face him away so melee can hit from behind. Pick up each pair of shards as they spawn at 66% and 33%.
Healer
Heal the tank. His hits are hardest early and weaken each time he splinters.
Damage
Use physical damage or wands; his reflect can return targeted spells. Kill each shard pair, then return to him. He is also immune to DoTs.
Each class
Druid · your class
Fight it in Bear or Cat Form, since targeted spells bounce back. In Bear Form, Swipe hits up to three shards at once.
Hunter · your class
Your shots are physical, so Spell Reflection doesn't touch them. Multi-Shot the shard pairs and Aimed Shot the Sentinel.
Mage · your class
Wand the Sentinel; targeted spells can reflect. Blizzard or Arcane Explosion kills shards. The mage quest Power in Uldaman needs his Obsidian Power Source.
Paladin · your class
Melee it with a Seal up and heal whoever holds the shards. Consecration, trained at 20 in Forever, hits the shards around you.
Priest · your class
Heal and use your wand; Smite and Mind Blast can reflect back at you. Keep Power Word: Shield on whoever picks up shards.
Rogue · your class
Your attacks are physical, so you are the main damage here. Swap to each shard pair at 66% and 33%, then back.
Shaman · your class
Lightning Bolt and shocks can reflect. Melee with Windfury Weapon (30) and use Magma Totem for the shards.
Warlock · your class
Shadow Bolt can reflect into you. Wand the Sentinel, Rain of Fire or Hellfire the shards, and let your Voidwalker melee.
Warrior · your class
Your damage is physical and safe from reflection. Sunder Armor for his high armor; Thunder Clap and Cleave the shards.

Spread out of Ground Tremor and pace your mana; it's a long fight. Watch whoever picks up each new add.
