Hi! Was healing the new 5-mans on normal with a warrior tank (friend of mine/guildie). Anyway, the first two went great. No wipes, and only 2 deaths (by the same dps - one time simply due to him pulling, the other due to me making a noobish mistake). So no real problems. Then hit HoR. And fail. Eventually the group disbands.

The tank blamed himself/his skills, as warriors lack aoe taunts/agro builders. I did it again today as dps with another warrior on hc, and was also a total fail. But the first time I ever did it was with a warrior tank, and that went ok.

So, first question: is it especially challenging for warriors, and if so, any ideas?

The alcove in left side of the first HoR room seems to be the easiest place. You should kill priests first imo, since they can cc your healer (at least in heroic mode) for a while, you don't want your tank to die because of that. Next mercenaries, they do a lot of damage & stun & vanish-kinda thing. This kinda order worked for us pretty well. Dps:ers can tank priest or whatever ranged gets taken down first, at least when you focus on same target & start dps on it asap.

And yeah, thunderclap + shockwave ftw. HoR HC really tests warrior skills, you should cycle your cds there, shield block when you got 2+ melees on you, it should come from cd for the next wave anyways.

The above mentioned priority is good. But tanking in the middle or in the entrance area (just in front of the door) works well too. Especially if you can get your dps to CC. Priests can shackle, Ret Paladins can Repentance and all Paladins can fear undead (fear is okay because you can't pull other mobs) Then you can focus on single enemies and they go down fast. As warrior tank I recommend a 5 man spec/glyphing. Glyph of Cleave is awesome, so is Gylph of Devestate and Sunder.
