The Encounter
This is a multi-phase encounter, with phase changes every 20%. It's important to note that Zul'jin wipes threat every time the phase changes, so be prepared to throttle DPS when he switches phases. He starts out as his normal troll form, then switches to a bear, an eagle, a lynx and then finally, a dragonhawk for the last 20%.

Phase 1 - Zul'jin the troll
In this phase, Zul'jin uses two abilities in addition to his normal melee damage. One is a Whirlwind that strikes targets in melee range, the other is a random target ability similar to the one used by Rokmar the Crackler in The Slave Pens.

Phase 2 - Bear form
Phase 2 begins with Zul'jin wiping threat and taking on the aspect of the captured bear spirit nearby. He immediately fires off Creeping Paralysis, which is a dispellable debuff that has a 6 second duration. If not dispelled, it will cause 3000-3500 damage and stun for 4 seconds. He can also hit fairly hard in this phase, so keep the tank topped off when possible in case a healer is stunned by Creeping Paralysis.

Phase 3 - Eagle form
Phase 3 begins with Zul'jin wiping threat and taking on the aspect of the captured eagle spirit nearby. He spawns Energy Storms around the room in random locations that knock back anyone they come in contact with, as well as causing around 1k damage. Casters during this phase (including healers) will be hit for 1250 damage each time they cast a spell.

Phase 4 - Lynx form
Phase 4 begins with another threat wipe and Zul'jin taking on the aspect of the captured lynx spirit nearby. He will fixate on random targets, causing them to take additional damage for the duration of the fixate; Intervene is very useful here. After about 10 seconds Zul'jin returns his attention to the tank. He will also Whirlwind similar to Kargath Bladefist in The Shatter Halls; he's not rooted in place during this so he'll move around hitting random targets.

Phase 5 - Dragonhawk form
Phase 5 begins with a threat wipe and Zul'jin taking on the aspect of the captured dragonhawk spirit nearby. During this phase, he will cast a flame buffet-style buff that increases fire damage taken. Additionally, he will spawn a beam of fire (think void zones, ala Netherspite) under random targets in the raid which pulse fire damage. If that person isn't fully topped off, they will likely die; move out of the beam quickly. Staying away from/out of the beams of fire is important for this phase of the encounter.
