History

(From Blizzard's site)
The Molten Core lies at the very bottom of Blackrock Depths. It is the heart of Blackrock Mountain and the exact spot where, long ago in a desperate bid to turn the tide of the dwarven civil war, Emperor Thaurissan summoned the elemental Firelord, Ragnaros, into the world. Though the fire lord is incapable of straying far from the blazing Core, it is believed that his elemental minions command the Dark Iron dwarves, who are in the midst of creating armies out of living stone. The burning lake where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass through. Chief among Ragnaros' agents is Majordomo Executus - for this cunning elemental is the only one capable of calling the Firelord from his slumber.

Attunement

One must be level 55 and have completed the quest "Attunement to the Core" given by Lothos Riftwaker at the bottom of Blackrock Depths.

Strategy

One tool that will help everyone in the raid is CT_RaidAssist. This is an addon that will allow assisting and the fights to be done much easier. It can be found here.

2 Tank will be assigned one as Main Tank(MT) one as Off Tank(OT) for the night. One hunter will be assigned to pull and 1 rogue as the Main Assist(MA). The MT will tank the majority of the mobs as well as the bosses. The OT will back up the MT. If multiple mobs are pulled the OT's mob is killed first.

The hunter calls the inc pull and the tanks get thier target. The MA will call for the attack and the raid is to then assist him/her and attack that target. When the mob is at 15% the Puller goes to get the next target. By time it gets to the raid the first mob should be dead if not, the OT gets on the new mob and the carnage insues. If things are fast enough most trash will be leap frogged tanked by the MT and OT.
