Heroic Ultraxion (11/02/2011 PTR):

Cheat Death does not work against Ultraxion's Hour of Twilight with the Looming Darkness debuff.
Cloak of Shadows (cloak-immune) does work on Hour of Twilight, but does not work when you have the Looming Darkness debuff.

edit: added underlining

Still can't Backstab Ultraxion. Killing Spree does work though.

Also, Ultraxion does not parry, but can still dodge.

I could Cloak immune the Hour of Twilight, but I was still receiving the debuff.

In last PTR test that changed - now you can soak "Hour of Twilight" in Cloak resist phase.
And he still have no ass at face =\

Didn't see it updated here, I was on a Rogue alt on Madness of Deathwing yesterday and was able to killing spree the limbs. It puts you about 15 foot in the air as the point it ports you to constantly before dropping down to the platform.

A couple things for heroic 10-man Warmaster Blackhorn, disarming the large adds does not appear to prevent the usage of their abilities (stun immune as well). Feint alone is not enough to solo a Twilight Onslaught (large blast, does 1.2 million on heroic) however, it can be CoS-immuned.

I disagree with that. Adds are either multiple (black ooze) and better killed with aoe or a sole blue mana sponge usually not close enough to the boss for cleave purposes. I don't think Combat cleaving ability will help much. Assassination's strong AoE may push it to the top for this fight.

The boss can easily be dragged on top of the mana void to allow cleaving.

We tried assassination on one of the 25 man attempts. Assassination seemed to be stronger. This could use some more review.

It is not recommended that you solo a Twilight Onslaught. While someone can survive the blast while solo'ing it, the damage appears to continue to the ship unless there are a minimum number of people in it.

Update on killing spree on Madness of Deathwing. It still works on the Arm and Wing tentacles. On the Wing ones you get placed in the air like I mentioned previously but you're safe, nothing to worry about. On the Arm tentacles you just stay in front of it and on the ground during KS. KS does not work on the Mutated Corruption, I was unable to cast it at all. I didn't spot whether it targeted Blistering Tentacles or not as I was tending to save it for the Regenerative Blood.

I tried a little bit last night with no success, but I am unable to confirm it for sure: can the Blistering Tentacles be blade-flurried in Madness?

No, they can only be killed with single target damage.

This needs some extra testing but I was under the impression that I could target the Blistering tentacles and cleave the main one. Seems possible from the way it is phrased.

This is what I was doing as well. You could target them and cleave off of them. I watched the fraps I have of it to confirm and it was happening. They may have changed this since then

What about shadowstep?
