Is it just me, or does this guy sound a bit like Chris Latta (aka, voice actor behind the original Starscream and Cobra Commander)?

In other words. yells: COBRA ATTAAAAAAAAAACK

To me Vo'jak sounds an awful lot like Zorak from Space Ghost Coast to Coast (and originally in Space Ghost) - also a giant mantid, voiced by C. Martin Croker.

Between Thousand Blades and Dashing Strike, this fight heavily favours ranged DPS unless your healer can handle everyone stacking in a corner.

I've done this boss at least 20 times and today was the first time I've seen him fly! I've never seen him do that before. He's always ran around and up the stairs to get to the group, but this time he just took a shortcut and flew right at us and stayed airborne throughout the fight. Really weird.

If you get quick dry resin on you jump to remove it or you will be encased in it (won't be able to move).
When he flies to the other side of the bridge, you will be running against the wind to get to him. If you pass walls on your way to him, get in front of them so you can't be blown backward. Use any abilities you can to get there quicker. E.g. when I'm tanking on my warrior I use heroic leap to close distance, intervene to any party members ahead of me, charge toward boss. Hunter quickly turn on aspect of the pack. Druid switch in to faster form etc.

Avoid bombs during this fight. Grab caustic tar and throw it at enemies below you as they approach. When the boss reaches the top you can throw the tar at him to remove his buffs.

Now and then the boss will charge to a random player who will take a lot of damage. healers be ready for this.

He will also do a whirlwind attack that people need to get out of.

I've found at a tank that he will usually do the whirlwind straight after he charges away from me at someone else. I wait a couple of seconds until he finishes his whirlwind and then I charge / taunt him. Doing it before that just means tank gets damaged and doesn't help anyone else anyway.

Encountered an odd bug on his timewalking fight today; threw sap down onto the platform while fighting to reset his attack speed and I accidentally stepped in it once or twice, despite only stepping into it for a second, the debuff kept applying and dealing damage to me whenever I was on the platform, even after moving far away from the initial spot.

The Escaped Prisoners

The mantid captured these three Pandaren during the initial attack on Niuzao Temple, but the prisoners were able to break free of their bindings and fight back. Now they stand ready to do whatever it takes to end the siege.

Caustic Tar – Escaped prisoners, Li and Lo Chu, will position and prepare mantid tar kegs for use in the battle.
Players can throw the kegs of Caustic Tar onto the battlefield. Caustic Tar inflicts on any unit standing within the tar 6 Nature damage, reduces movement speed by 50%, and increases damage taken by 10%. This effect stacks.
The Caustic Tar also removes any effect from the target that increases movement or attack speed.

Stage One: Bring It!

Commander Vo'jak orders his forces to attack the players.

Sik'thik Swarmer – Lightly armored and well trained, the Sik'thik Swarmers are a key part of the Vo'jak's forces.
Sik'thik Amberwing – The Sik'thik Amberwing flies to the top of the platform and bombards the players.
- Bombard – The Sik'thik Amberwing fires a volley of explosives at random enemy locations every 1.5 sec. for 15 sec. Bombard inflicts 5 Fire damage to all creatures within 4.5 yards of the targeted location.
Sik'thik Demolisher – Quick and volatile, these mantid carry explosive charges.
- Unstable Blast – The Sik'thik Demolisher carries unstable explosives and explodes when damaged or killed, inflicting 8 to all targets within 16 yards.
Sik'thik Warrior – Sik'thik Warriors slowly advance on the enemy position.

Stage Two: Your Defenses Did Not Stop Me!

Commander Vo'jak's enters the battle as his forces near defeat at the hands of the players.

Rising Speed – Commander Vo'jak focuses his will and determination, increasing his attack speed by 10% every 2 sec. This effect stacks.
Dashing Strike – Commander Vo'jak charges a random enemy player, inflicting 9 Physical damage to all enemies passed through. The Strike also knocks back his current target, inflicting an additional 18 Physical damage.
Thousand Blades – Immediately after using Dashing Strike, Commander Vo'jak begins to spin around and send blades outward, inflicting Physical damage to all targets within 8 yards.
Thousand Blades also removes the Caustic Tar effect.
