I'm with GG on this, as long as your warriors and healers are reasonably geared, you should be able to take Kurinnaxx.
My advice:
* Spread out, healers should not be in the same spot
* Don't sweat running around so much, you have just as much chance to run into a trap
* Do kite him back and forth, in a line seems to work better than in a circle
* Non-tanks bandage or potion after being sand-trapped
* Lightwells = extra bandages for when you're debuffed
* Try to time the taunts - don't time them immediately when the tank gets a debuff increase, wait about 5 seconds, then taunt
* Don't have all the warriors get silenced at once - have a warrior or two standing by to taunt
* Druid healers can go bear quickly if they have good armor on their healer gear and taunt, especially when Kurinnaxx's at 10%. Other healers need to be paying attention for when we have an 'off-off-tank', dying is no fun.
Rajaxx, I dunno so much for a not-well-equipped group. This fight really, really taxes your healers and tanks. On the other paw, a lot of forum posters talk about how easy this fight is if you just keep the NPCs healed.
Usually we assign druids to root some of the incoming mobs, so there are fewer running all over the raid, and we have warriors off-tank the swarmguards because they die faster but they do a lot of damage, so they need to be killed quicker. It might be that it would work better if we rooted the swarmguards on top of the NPCs instead, since the NPCs can put out a lot of damage. The warriors are softies.
