Hellfire High Council

Thousands of Iron Horde orcs accepted the blood of Mannoroth, but few grew as powerful as these three champions. Dia Darkwhisper, master of Void magic and an outcast of the Shadowmoon, rose quickly to power as the left hand of Gul'dan. Gurtogg, with his insatiable hunger for blood, emerged the victor in hundreds of trials by combat. He has met his match only once, fighting Blademaster Jubei'thos to a draw. Tainted with fel sickness, they serve Gul'dan as both Highguard and Council of War.

Abilities

What it does.

From the adventure guide, with tank, healer and damage notes.

Overview

Each member of the council has a special attack that they will only use below 30% health. These effects will persist until the end of the encounter.

Tanks

When Dia Darkwhisper uses Nightmare Visage, use defensive abilities to reduce the damage you take.
Keep Dia Darkwhisper away from her allies, else they will gain the effects of Void Haze.
Move away from the impact point of Gurtogg Bloodboil's Demolishing Leap to minimize damage taken.

Healers

Dispel Dia Darkwhisper's Mark of the Necromancer before its damage becomes lethal, but do not dispel prematurely as doing so causes the effect transfers to 2 additional targets when dispelled.
Use defensive abilities to maximize your chance of survival if Gurtogg Bloodboil targets you with his Fel Rage.
Move away from the impact point of Gurtogg Bloodboil's Demolishing Leap to minimize damage taken.

Damage Dealers

If you are afflicted with Mark of the Necromancer when Dia Darkwhisper casts Reap, the ground beneath your position will burn for the remainder of the encounter, so position yourself carefully.
Use defensive abilities to maximize your chance of survival if Gurtogg Bloodboil targets you with his Fel Rage.
Move away from the impact point of Gurtogg Bloodboil's Demolishing Leap to minimize damage taken.
