For this second look at the first wing of Siege of Orgrimmar, I'll be mostly just providing extra details on top of what I had said in the tank section. This is all from the perspective of a 2H Frost Death Knight, but while it's possible that there are some differences for ranged players, I imagine that the experience is largely the same.
Immerseus:
This fight is pretty much the same as from a tank's perspective. Be sure not to stand anywhere near the tank, though, as his major tank-debuff ability will likely 1-shot you.
Be sure to kill as many of the corrupted droplets as you can on each split phase. On Swirl, melee should close in on the boss while ranged should run away.
Corrupted Protectors:
Really I just have a better idea of who spawns what adds. You should rotate between Rook, then He, then Sun, switching to adds when one of them goes into desperate measures. Always prioritize adds, and when you get all of them below 33%, try to use lots of cleaves or incidental AoE, but always try to focus on whoever has the most health (and be sure to switch if yours starts to go down quicker than the others.)
Trash Before Norushen:
Just a little note here: the mini boss, Zeal, will actually lose abilities if you kill Vanity and Arrogance, two smaller mini-bosses that are in the Big Blossom Quarry. You don't necessarily have to do both, or either of these, but it will make things a little easier.
Norushen:
This fight can be a huge pain, because he never seems to choose the right players to send into the test realm to get cleansed. The good news is that the adds will take 100% damage regardless of your corruption level, and I believe that all of that damage gets put on the Amalgam of Corruption. So definitely always be killing adds if they are up. Also, there are many things that can kill you suddenly here, especially the cutter beam, so prioritize survival.
Sha of Pride:
This is one of those fights that will get easier as people have better gear, as it's definitely a DPS-intensive fight.
As DPS, always switch to the reflections and AoE them down ASAP. If your Pride is low, you can stand near them when they die, but if you have high Pride, step away and let someone else get the boost.
There is actually only one prison on the dps side, but don't be a dick - help them out.
If you get Gift of the Titans, be sure to stack up to give the buff - you need the DPS. When Swelling Pride goes off, scatter quickly.
Finally, the Manifestation of Corruption will pop up directly behind the boss in a little alcove. Turn around and kill him when he spawns. He should go down quickly, but you should still try to interrupt the spell he casts.
Save Hero/BL/Time Warp for when he goes "Unleashed."
Incidentally, if you do hit 100% pride, all is not lost. You will actually deal more damage to him. However, unless you can get him to Unleashed, or kill him, before he casts Swelling Pride again, this will be a very bad thing. Don't aim to get that much pride.
And there you have it. The latter two bosses here are definitely harder than the first two, but I'm confident that as people gear up and get more familiar with the fights, this wing will go down pretty easy.
Next week, we'll take a look at the Gates of Orgrimmar, with our buddies Galakras, the Iron Juggernaut, the Dark Shaman, and poor old General Nazgrim.
