 '''Into the Fray:  The First Crystal'''
-A tank on an epic mount body pulls the boss.  While he or she is riding back towards the center of the area, one of three crystals will spawn.  The spotter pings the map and the tank rides toward the correct spawn location.  The crystal must then be activated as soon as Ossirian is in sight, as it takes a good three seconds for the crystal to activate.  While this is going on, absolutely NOTHING should be done by anyone that causes any aggro.  (Not pointing fingers, but to give you an idea of what can happen:  one time a mage was our activator, used blink, was targetted by Ossirian and one-shotted.  Nobody activated the crystal and a wipe ensued.)  The rest of the raid is mounted and waiting to move into position.

 Once this first crystal is activated, the tanks start fighting each other for aggro and the scout is frantically searching for the next crystal.  Priests are the ONLY people healing and are fading as soon as the cooldown has expired.  The rest of the raid is still mounted and moving toward the scout's ping for the second crystal activation.  Once the tanks have dragged Ossirian to the second crystal and it's been activated, the damage on call is given, though you'll want to start lightly -- especially casters who can easily get a huge crit and draw aggro.  Rogues and hunters are ideal as they can consistently wipe aggro.  For damage dealers, it is important that you position yourself such that you're ahead of Ossirian on the path to the next crystal.  If you draw aggro, you're not pulling Ossirian away from the crystal.

 '''Supreme Mode'''
-Supreme mode is just like it sounds.  Ossirian is immune (highly resistant?) to magic and physical damage while at the same time doing massive damage -- basically one-shotting whomever's in reach.  This is dispelled by activating crystals that spawn in the area (more on this in the strategy section).  Whenever supreme mode is dispelled, he becomes vulnerable to a certain school of magic.  The dispel lasts for 45 seconds, after which Ossirian regains supreme mode.

 '''Tornados'''
-Once Ossirian is engaged, he summons several tornados that move throughout the area.  It's basically instant death if you wander into one.  At least for this fight, you should have your camera on max view distance (make sure to crank the max view distance to as high as the game allows -- the option is in the advanced tab of the interface options).  You'll also want to periodically swing your camera back and forth.  Have I mentioned situational awareness before? ;)

 '''The Deathblow'''
 Finally, the raid has whittled Ossirian down to low single-digit health, he's vulnerable to a good school of magic (depending on raid makeup), and the call is given to go for the throat.  Everyone lets loose and Ossirian topples to the ground a few seconds later.

	The general strategy is to kite Ossirian around the room to the randomly spawning crystals to keep Ossirian from entering Supreme Mode. A spotter is scouting out these locations, an activator is ready to pull the trigger on the crystals in due time, and the rest of the raid is damaging Ossirian while avoiding tornados.
