ROFL that must have been fun!
Yeah, the ranged DPS quest was really hard. I wiped way more than the five times I joked about in that screenshot. I actually ended up going away to repair my armor and came back. Eventually I found a strategy on the forums that really helped, though, and after that I got it in two tries.
You know how, in the talking part beforehand, Yulon says that sometimes true wisdom is knowing when to do nothing? Well, that worked here, too. Okay, not nothing, but as a mage you can go up on the balcony behind Yulon, go Invisible to drop aggro from the lava blob adds, and as long as you stay on the balcony they leave you alone. (Apparently this works with hunters' Feign Death, too. No idea how warlocks, priests, elemental shaman, or boomkin handle it.)
Even when Wrathion goes back into the room to do his mirror images thing, just stay out there and he'll come back to you eventually.
It's still not a picnic dodging all the crap on the ground, but it's much, MUCH easier than trying to kite around all those adds. (I tried it as both frost and fire spec and neither was easy.)
