Xu-Fu should be dead at this point

Note:

I originally used the Direhorn Runt on this strategy, but after the second week, I was no longer able to put out enough damage to kill Xu-Fu before his Feed came off of cool down. Since changing to the Darkmoon Zeppelin, I've had no problems.
This strategy has worked amazingly well for me, but the setup allows zero room for error or misses. If you would like a strategy that gives a little more freedom, please see the one outlined below.

Continue to use Flock until Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling is dead
Bring out Darkmoon Zeppelin

Xu-Fu should be dead at this point

Note:

The key to successfully using this strategy is changing the weather from Moonlight to Lightning immediately after Xu-Fu casts Moonfire.
In Moonlight, Xu-Fu receives 25% additional healing with Feed, does 10% additional damage with Moonfire, and also gains a 100% hit chance with Spirit Claws.
It is necessary for the Call Lightning pet to be alive after the Darkmoon Zeppelin uses Explode.

Open with Ghostly Skull

Bring out Bonkers

Yu'la should die rather quickly. Backup pet will not have much to deal with if Bonkers dies for any reason.

Notes:

Bonkers (or whatever main Humanoid pet you use) must have a Speed stat of 288+ in order to easily Dodge Yu'la's Fly ability.
Any pet with Ascendance can substitute for the Ghostly Skull. Level and quality do not matter.
The Pandaren Monk can be substituted by many other pets. Very rarely will you ever have to use this third pet. However, it's a good idea to have a strong backup just in case. I generally use my Anubisath Idol (Crush, Sandstorm, and Deflection) if he is not already dead or otherwise needed. Kun'Lai Runt, Curious Wolvar Pup, Hoplings, Flayer Youngling, Qiraji Guardling, or any other pet with strong Humanoid attacks (any Dodge-like ability is a great bonus) will suffice.
