Strategy

In phase 1, DPS must eliminate her mana shield by doing damage to her. Once her mana shield is down, you enter phase 2 where you can kill her.

Phase 1

In phase 1, Deathwhisper is untankable and casts Shadow Bolt, Death and Decay (note that her version of this spell is green), Dominate Mind, and Dark Empowerment. She will also reanimate a dead Cult Adherent or Cult Fanatic into a Reanimated Adherent or Reanimated Fanatic respectively.

Cult Adherents and Cult Fanatics spawn in waves 5 seconds into the fight and every minute thereafter. 7 total adds spawn, with no more than 4 of each type spawning. 3 spawn by the gate to the left, 3 to the right, and one behind at the bottom of the stairs. While alive, they can be crowd controlled and snared. The tanks must pick these adds up, and DPS must bring them down.

Every so often, Deathwhisper will reanimate the dead. They spawn from where they died. Again, they must be picked up and tanked. The twist is that the Adherents will be immune to spells and Fanatics will be immune to physical damage.

Don't go crazy with AoE when people are mind controlled, as we don't want to kill off the raid. Only AoE when there's no mind control, or the mind controlled are out of harm's way. Remember to CC those who are mind controlled.

Things to watch out for are Death and Decay, Curse of Torpor (curse, must be removed immediately), Frost Fever (disease), and when the adds get close to dying they will blow up. Get away from adds casting Dark Martyrdom.

Don't kill Deathwhisper just after a wave of adds come, wait for about 100,000 mana, then bring the next wave of adds down, then bring her into phase 2. Note that phase 2 is an aggro wipe, and a tank must pick her up.

Phase 2

In phase 2, Deathwhisper casts Frostbolt, Death and Decay, Dominate Mind, and Touch of Insignificance. She also will bring up Vengeful Shades from the dead adds from phase 1. Adds stop spawning in phase 2.

Touch of Insignificance makes it difficult for a tank to hold threat, so all of the tanks must try to be right up there in threat. Tanks will switch, perhaps often at first, but less so as the fight wears on.

Like Kel'Thuzad, Frostbolt MUST be interrupted. It does too much damage for a tank to survive.

When Vengeful Spirits spawn, they will chase someone. Ranged DPS must kill them, and the person being targeted must run away or else large AoE damage will occur.

Mind controls continue throughout phase 2, just kill her.
