Doubt that's a legal server, since gruul tanked by a rogue seems really impossible if you got only 2-3 other dps..

Its not fake, he is well known of being a rogue who tries things like this, pre-TBC this rogue soloed BRD not sure when but Ive read it.

TBC this rogue has tanked firstly Mother Shazz, then RoS then Illidan, now has tanked gruul.

With his tanking gear, MotW, BoK, Insect Swarm he gets 102.4% avoidance, 74% or so dodge, this causes the bosses to NEVER hit him.
(when tanks have 102.4% avoidance its with block and so they only get blocked attacks, unless block is not active)

It other words this tank is an insane tanking machine and the healers only had to heal the AoE damage, which wasnt that much.

Gruul itself took them 23min to conquer, we caps at 30 growthes, and after 5min resets to 0 growthes.

Yes this was real

With 102.6% avoidance that shouldn't be a problem, so could aswell be a normal server imho. Since with that much dodge, miss and parry chance you can't get hit, can you?

Just goes to show how insane dodge rating really is (and why Blizzard thinks of removing crushing blows from the table entirely ..)

Watched it Yesterday and and laughed so hard...

I will never do Gruul with 25-people again. Wiping with 25, when it can be done with 5 or even 2-3 manned with a rogue tank, would be just..*sigh*
