Easy Feat
Off tanking Razorscale. We always designate a player to tank the sentinels off to the side. Is there a reason why this wouldn't be the best use of a hunter pet? The reduced aoe damage would make it pretty easy. The only problem I can see is trying to use the pet in the tanking rotation of phase 2. Having to constantly kite Razorscale around would be very difficult to do as a hunter.
Re: Easy Feat
Unfortunately the Fuse Armor debuff that Razorscale puts up means that he needs to be taunted every 20-40 seconds. In order to do this one only a pet and one other tank, you'd really have to stretch out the number of stacks of Fuse Armor you and the other tank are taking since you're going to be able to taunt once. If your normal tank tanks first, that'll give you two normal taunt phases, and third phase where the normal tank will hold him as long as he can before he bites the bullet, and assuming he's still second on threat a fourth and final phase with your pet until he goes down. I'm not sure exactly how long that'll give you, but I'd think your dps is going to have to be on their game and your other tank is going to need to really crank out the TPS to give your pet a large threat lead when he taunts so the DPS doesn't have to hold back.
That part may be very challenging, but as far as just tanking the Sentinels in phase 1 it should be very simple.

Re: Easy Feat
Off tanking sentinels shouldn't be a problem, as long as you have at least 2 main tanks for the other 2 packs and for Razorscale phase 2.
Seeing that the reason you want to burn down the sentinel so fast normally is because he does immense damage to the tank is a bit negated by the lack of damage he does to your pet, so your pet could get the threat up before turning ranged on him to nuke it down.
The bad part about this is that you'll do so much less damage, and with one less dps:er (especially for 10 man) you may be looking at 3 landings before he's grounded, and thus the enrage timer will be at risk.

Re: Easy Feat
I was thinking more 25 man with 2 or 3 other tanks. You could park your turtle off to the side waiting for a sentinel to pop up. Misdirect --> Bam off-tank.
When it comes to phase 2 I think it be best to have the pet tank first. This would give everyone an opportunity to get to the center, get organized and ready. It always takes about 10 seconds for everyone to get adjusted when phase 2 starts. The turtle can tank for that long without too much issue. Taunt and let the pet die to the debuffs. The other tank would taunt and begin the rotation as normal.
Just a thought. Again, I would expect Razorscale to be on farm before attempting this.
Re: Easy Feat
Umm. Didn't Blizz nerf the taunt ability for pets because of Ulduar bosses? Meaning: pets can't taunt on some bosses. It just doesn't work like on bosses where it's allowed.

Re: Easy Feat
Somebody could be really kind and produce a guide as to which bosses are immune, is there any way to find out apart from the hard way?

Re: Easy Feat
Think the hard way is the only way.
As for tanking Razorscale, your pet will not have near enough threat at start of phase 2 to get hold of him.

Re: Easy Feat
Maybe we should start a sticky thread that people could report each major boss in heroics and raids, listing which ones were immune and which ones weren't.
What do you guys think?

Re: Easy Feat
Sounds like an excellent idea. I predict some ninja taunts in Naxx in my future.
