ZA equals serious gear check!!!!!

So last night my guild decides to take a stab at ZA on the PTR. Wow this is gonna be one hard fight. the trash mobs hit very hard. We went in with 2 CC's 2 tanks 2 rogues 3 healers 1 shaman. We wiped enough times to be clean for a month. The opening trash mobs we a surprise with how many came after us and took us back for a minute and then we destroyed them. Then we get to "meat" those new armored bears, Wow, they hurt, but they can be CC'd. I'd say half the trash is immune to CC'n. The good news is the grave yard is right to the right of the instance so no long runs back. Once you get to the boss he has 4 waves of trash mobs that seperate him from you, but good news I just saved a bunch of gold on my mount insurance by switching to gnomico, really the news is you can eat drink and be merry between each set. Then after a few wipes we get to the boss(Gear Check time).
we may need slightly better gear. We managed to get the bear boss down to mid 40%. This boss also does a swipe that damages a total of anywhere between 10000-15000 damage but it does midicate so if you have 2 tanks they can split the damage from that. Keep that in mind. You will need minimum of 2 tanks better if you had 1 or 2 off tanks as well for the trash mobs.
There is a village right below that has quests and a hidden repair npc so look for that if you need to repair. Also since this instance is an outdoor one you can mount inside which is nice to quickly return to battle if you die and may save your team.
