Hmm, wowhead doesn't list their abilities?

Have they been buffed recently: I found today that the adds would cast a Slow effect on me, which I never remember happening before today.

These things ruin every healer's day. Most random groups will ignore them and focus the chains while their healer gets chewed up.

Absolute most annoying trash adds in a heroic.

They can easily be killed in 1-3 shots, but they can also do the same to your healer and brittle DPS. Just make sure DPS is on their toes. In my experience, these mobs have been the number one cause of failures on this boss. Healer aggro will be crazy on this fight. Beneficial to have a raid icon on your healer so you can see where the mobs are heading.

It should be noted that fast casters are the best suited to destroy these guys, as people such as Warlocks have a hellish time keeping their numbers trimmed. I watched one poor Warlock just about tear herself apart trying to keep up with them. These ghosts need to die. Fast.

While dubious at first glance, Shamans have a unique trick here, in which (so long as they keep it the hell away from the Dire Trolls) can drop an Earth Elemental/Fire Elemental combo to tie up these adds for a short while, enough for one or maybe even two chains to be shattered. Bonus points if you are an Enhancement Shaman and can bring out the Wolves to flip an even bigger finger to this Phase.

Other classes that I know of that can pull this trick are Warlocks with Infernals and Paladins with their new Pet ability. Be aware the pet will die. Horribly. Probably within 10-20 seconds without healing, depending upon how many spawn before you feel the need to help out the ranged DPS. But it's 15-20 seconds your healer isn't getting molested by these things.

Death Knights should NOT attempt their Army of the Dead as the Ghouls have no control, taking aggro off the Dire Trolls and ensuring it will never do it's Slam on the chains. Save your Ghouls for that final push when all three shields on the chains are smashed, please, it's much better that way.

The biggest trick to dealing with this is to remember that the adds do shadow damage, NOT physical. Armor and physical damage reduction does nothing to mitigate the high damage output (hence these guys can do tank-killing damage).

If you are short on ranged, you want to use a defensive CD (AMS works wonders) that helps with magic damage, and then quickly nuke a cluster of these.
