As the topic says. Some of them are old, well, most of them. But I hope this will help those who either have problems there or are just begining the instance.
Please add yours!
Northrend Beasts:
Levitate
prevents spawning fires. Needs to be refreshed whenever this happens or after two minutes.
Cloak of Shadows
can be used to remove the jormungar poison, even though it appears as a physical debuff (red frame).
Lord Jaraxxus:
Aura Mastery
will prevent the mistress kiss to interupt casting, but will not remove the debuff. The kiss will interupt the first spell after the aura mastery ends.
Faction Champions:
General mess. What realy helps is when people know where are the buttons they otherwise never use in PvE.
Twin Val'kyr:
Their damage is light and shadow. Light is not holy, light is
fire
.
Anub'barak:
Hand of Protection
grants immunity to the spikes without causing Anub to switch targets.

Oh god, the Levitate tip is awesome. Also, the damage from Fjola Lightbane is Fire, good thing to know, i never tried to look it up.
Some tips from me:
The best raid setup for Lord Jaraxxus on HC (10 men, don't know about 25) is with 1 tank only. It's easy to taunt the Maiden that spawns, and tank her together with the boss, and it enables the DPS to hit both targets at once. The infernals spawn faster than the cooldown of Taunt gets charged up, but it does not really matter when an infernal is not tanked.
Tank the Valkyrs right next to each other, between two portals. The melee dps will be able to switch quickly to a Valkyr with the shield, and they will be able to hit both of them throughout the whole fight. Massively increases DPS.

Twin Val'kyrs: Have your shadow priests attune dark, because the feedback damage of SW:Death gets absorbed by the attunement and increments their Increasing Power stack, potentially resulting in extra Empowered Darkness. They should, of course, still shift to Light attunement during Light Vortex.
Anub'arak: Facing isn't important. Despite the graphic, Freezing Slash is a single target effect. If you have a holy paladin with the glyph of Holy Light, ranged and healers can stack on the main tank to help give a little buffer for the raid healer. This isn't really necessary because, at least in tens, a single competent healer can handle raid healing P3 alone, but could be useful if you're struggling in that regard.

Faction Champs: lacking certain classes will make this fight much harder, if not impossible. Priests for Mass Dispel; shamans for Purge, Heroism and tremor totems. If you don't have both of these in your raid you will have a much harder time on this fight.
you also want to bring a warlock just incase they have a tree. a good lock can keep a tree without a cast long enough to gib one of their dpsers and keep it locked down enough after that to basicaly leave the tree for near the end of the fight.

Warlock Tips:
Beasts:
If you do what we do, and dps acidmaw first...
After Gormok dies, plant your your teleport near the Deadscale tank who gets the fire debuff. Then run opposite side of where acidmaw spawns(should be about 6o'clock on the map). This provides a spot where almost no one ever is simply because its the furthest away from Deadscale tank(and most ppl would have to run through acidmaw). But your teleport allows you to port next to him if you get the debuff.
On Icehowl, plant your teleport anywhere you like, within 15 yards of the wall, then run 15 yards to the left or right allowing you to dps Icehowl. Once you get knocked backed to the wall, you should be approx 25-35 yards to the side of your teleport, and if he focuses you teleport away. Be mindful you wont have to use this if no one near you is focused and be careful not to port INTO his path.
Lord Jaraxx:
Infernals are banishable on normal. Also, if you get mistress kiss. Pop Shadow Ward, then cast a spell of the school you don't use. IE. Shadowbolt if you're destro. You'll absorb almost all the damage. Also a quick switch to Demon Armor while you have Incinerate Flesh will help healers if they have a problem healing it, or if a few are dead.
Faction Champs: If there's a restro tree you're facing. You can keep them CC'd indefinitely by yourself with a combination of Banish, Fear, Deathcoil, Spell Lock(felpup) thus allowing your party to kill dps early and keeping the tree out of the fight until the end.
Twins:
Grab a Light Charge as the bosses appear and you can hellfire yourself until 70-80 stacks. I wouldn't start at over 80 stacks otherwise you get the buff too early and have aggro problems. Changing charges keeps your stacks as well. So you can start the fight with dark debuff and have 80 stacks...
Anub:
A Curse of doom at every emerge will allow it to tick off about 5 seconds before submerging. Use your teleport for maximam chase time if you're smart with it or doing hardmode.
Also, if you want to single heal it with a Holy Pally, have the pally beacon the MT. You will pop
Demon Armor
for the extra healing, stack on melee. And with the pally's Holy Lights being increased by 20-26%, the healing to the MT and splash heals to the raid should be enough to keep people up.

It's the light aura (it absorbs fire damage). You'll only get 1-2 stacks per hellfire pulse, but you can build yourself up to 97-98 stacks before the pull, so all you have to do is tap an orb for an instant nukefest.
The fire damage aura from Lightbane herself will tick you over.
Generally, if you're going to stack light attunement, best to stop at ~80 or even earlier, unless you really trust your tanks.

It's not the Freezing Slash that's the problem. It's his giant cleave that can and will one-shot any non-tank in the way. I can't stress this enough to DPS that stand near me when I tank, DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF HIM.

What cleave? I've stood next to the tank on my cloth casters and have never been cleaved.
If you have WWS or
Proof
that he has a cleave ability please post it.

Yeah, Anub doesn't cleave. Heck, nothing in ToC cleaves, unless you count random AoEs in faction champs. Are you confused over the Freezing Slash? That's tank only, not a cleave.
