When Tank-swapping on Heroic, make sure you have a cooldown ready for Execute

A third tank assigned solely to adds may be helpful, but is not by any means required.

Should the add tank have a Kor'kron Ironblade while they're casting Ironstorm, do not be afraid to taunt swap should you need to.

When approaching 10%, try to have a taunt swap ready for the new boss tank to have no stacks of Sundering Blow, while the new add tank gets ready to pick up all the adds.

One strategy for the last 10%: As you approach this percentage, have the boss tanked at the door for the add tank to pick up all the adds and keep as far away from each other.

Healers

Make sure all players hit by Bonecracker are kept close to full health as much as possible, as other abilities such as Heroic Shockwave and War Song could lead to deaths for those with the debuff

Make sure external/internal cooldowns are lined up beforehand on Heroic for Nazgrims Execute.

Damage Dealers

DO NOT get Nazgrim to 10% HP while he has Defensive Stance active.

It may be best to use Bloodlust and line up offensive cooldowns during the final 10% of this encounter, to burst down the boss before the adds get overwhelming.

Prioritize your stuns and interrupts on the Kor'kron Warshaman then Kor'kron Arcweaver. Although all mobs can be stunned, these two are the most deadly.

Those seem to be the wrong stances when you click on the links in this "guide". Dungeon Journal and mouseover tooltip ingame says 10% damage reduction.
