He drops a BoP blue and Emblem of Heroism, believe he only spawns in heroic mode

Whirlwinds and charges for up to 12k.

I believe Kolurg spawns for the Alliance while Stoutbeard Spawns for the Horde.

Commander Kolurg spawns in the Alliance heroic runs of The Nexus. He is accompanied by two caster elites, which should be killed first or CC'd depending on your groups composition.

As far as abilities go, he uses a Battle Shout and strong melee attacks, followed frequently by a nasty Whirlwind which can go as far as one-shotting nearby melee classes. It is strongly advised to avoid this, even if you are the tank if at all possible.

He also uses a Charge ability on ~~a random~~ a group member, the furthest away who is not in melee range, which hits for moderate damage - ensure that the healer keeps everyone topped up on health and nobody will go down from this. From time to time he uses an AoE fear (equivalent of a Warrior's Intimidating Shout), so it's preferable to fight him down the corridor away from the next pack of mobs or risk a fear into 3-4 adds.

Other than that, he's a tank-and-spank affair. He's basically a strong mob Warrior. Avoid silly mistakes like CC breaking and getting caught in the whirlwind and he's a walk in the park :)

EDIT: Corrected, thx ansawa.

He has an 110% chance to drop an Emblem of Heroism... O.o

The range on his whirlwind is painfully high. As soon as he casts it, melee need to run. Keyboard turning will surely get you killed, or at least wounded very badly.

Last night after 3.0.8 went live his whirlwind was hitting leather for ~16-21k.

He generally has 2 priests with him who will heal him as well as each other. It helps if you CC one of them while having DPS blow up the other. Make sure the tank is isolated with the boss since he has a nasty whirlwind that will basically one shot any clothie. He also has a fear and a random charge so be ready for that.

My group encountered him on our way up to Grand Magus Telestra. It was in the part where enemies are encased in ice. Was a nice little surprise as I was tanking the group and thought this was a particularly hard mob. Next thing I knew I was rolling on a BoP Blue. He wasn't terribly difficult and I was able to taunt him away from group when he WW.

Relatively easy. On my first Nexus HC run, we took him out before I even realised he was a boss.

Bumps the total emblems from Nexus up to 5, which is good considering it isnt the hardest of instances.

I encountered this guy on my rogue a few times now. I am in purples and his Whirlwind has been hitting me for 16-17k, non crit (19.8k last night). Sometimes I survive with 1% health, sometimes I dodge. If you have good PvP gear in your bags you may as well switch it in, a few thousand HP can be the difference.

You get very little time, if any, to get away once it starts. Best advice is to wait a bit after the pull, predict his WW, and hit evasion to help dodge it when it comes. Also having the buff up from https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/spell=48659 right before it comes at you will most likely save your life either by predicting it or hitting it as soon as he casts and running.

Frankly, as long as there is ranged dps I wouldn't glue yourself to the boss. He isn't hard enough that your max dps will be needed in order to beat him. Try to predict the WWs and run away, returning right after he has finished the WW even if it means gimping your dps, because you dead=no dps.

(I assume this comment works for the horde spawn as well.)

Edit: From the other page (horde spawn) it seems he may have a bigger hit box than you would think. Haven't tests it yet, but trying meleeing him from the max range you can get, may help give you a second.
