Boss Mechanics
Once engaged adds will spawn around the room. Each is a specific soul class. Estrode will be consuming 3 souls roughly every 30 seconds, so you need to make sure that she will not consume the most deadly ones. Normally you need to kill only the bad ones and let her consume the others, so you dont lose much dps.
Depending on which souls she consumes she will cast different abilities, debuffs and such. It is imperative for the healers to keep the raid cleansed at all times.
The room is going to be split in 4 quarters. 3 Quarters will have AOE in the ground so you need to stand in the safe one. Then move to the next safe. The rotation is anti-clockwise and the first safe one is exactly the one at the entrance of the room. The tank can ignore this.
Estrode will randomly stun 3 people at a time. This can't be cleansed but removed with Break Free and similar abilities.
Strategy 1
Tank her in the middle of the room facing away from the raid. Everyone else is standing behind her in the safe zone rotating around every quarter. Assign 3 people with pull abilities (e.g. Seargents Order, Squall) and use the macros provided in Set 1 below to pull three souls at a time for Estrode to consume. Subsequently you can use these as well to pull unwanted souls away from her.The first macro set is built to contain only the ones she is allowed to consume. Have everyone else DPS the boss. You do not need any AOE DPS. Melee is an option. Have the healers and bard stand furthest in the back to catch certain mechanics. This strategy is uncommon due to the requirement of more coordination, a tighter DPS check and increased situational mechanics.
Strategy 2 - Cheesing it
This is the most common strategy these days because you can trade kill speed for ease of mechanics.
Assign 3 AOE DPS. Assign 4 pulls (e.g. Seargents Order, Squall, (Druide works to, but not recommended due to damage loss)).
Use the macros provided in Set 2 to pull the unwanted souls into the middle. Estrode is tanked outside near the edge of the room facing away from the raid.
You will have 5 cycles of pulling adds inward. Everyone starts DPS on these eventually killing all the unwanted souls. This should take at most ~2-3 minutes. You're left with the souls she is allowed to consume at which point you can just DPS her down and ignore this mechanic. Don't stand in range of the adds (1-2m).
During the pull phase the tank needs to be careful about which souls are close to Estrode and move around accordingly. Again, the tank can ignore the AOE splitting the room in quarters. This requires practice.
