Blackhand

A ruthless tyrant and fierce warrior, Blackhand is Warlord of the Blackrock clan, second only to Grommash in stature within the Iron Horde. Bathed in sweltering heat that few other mortals could withstand, Blackhand oversees the operations of his Foundry from atop its Crucible, wielding his smoldering slag hammer to forge weapons of peerless quality.

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

Overview

Upon reaching 70% and 30% health, Blackhand causes the floor beneath the players to give out, falling to a lower level of the tower and changing the environmental hazards that he brings to bear to destroy his foes.

Damage Dealers

During the initial phase, stay far from Massive Demolition's impact point, and take shelter behind Debris Piles if you are Marked for Death.
Once falling to the second level, defeat Siegemakers and Iron Soldiers.
On the third level, avoid being knocked off by Impaling Throw.

Healers

During the initial phase, stay far from Massive Demolition's impact point, and take shelter behind Debris Piles if you are Marked for Death.
Once falling to the second level, Iron Soldiers will fire at players, inflicting raid damage.
On the third level players hit with Impaling Throw and Slag Bombs require significant healing.

Tanks

During the initial phase, Blackhand will knock his primary target into the Molten Slag.
On the second level, Iron Soldiers spawn on the balcony above and must be killed.
