Though Anadrol tanks her more often than I do as I'm still looking at +13 stam and +7 stam on my two best +stam rings and he has +20's and +16 I think. :) Yeah I have no luck with getting rings. :) But I still will generally break 7K buffed HP so I'm not too bad off. My best +stam weapon is +5 right now as well and I believe he has a +12. Never had much luck with one handed weapons on the little gnome either. :) I'm up around 190 unbuffed when I'm not tanking her though. But for the whole fight with her if I'm MT there is more physical damage done than fire damage so I don't buff FR at the expense of too much stam or damage avoidance.Plain FR greens probably aren't worth it on her. There's a good argument to be made for keeping your DI gear on once you have it though.
At 224 FR (284 buffed), this is how her damage has broken down on me (over multiple attempts, tracked with Combat Monitor):
Average physical: 776 (crit ~1500)
Average physical special abilities: 687 (crit ~1300)
Average fire: 2,574
Clearly the flame breath is the burst damage, mitigating it makes healing more predictable.
As for %s, including resisted damage (assuming 3500 for full resists):
Physical: 1,607k (81.6%)
Fire: 361k (18.3%)
- so yes, more of her damage is physical
How does that break down into actual totals on DI gear (and other mix/match - 7826 armor, 14% block, and 284 buffed FR)?
Physical - only 516k taken.
Fire - only 126k taken.
Moral of the story - once you get your DI gear (good armor, good stam, good FR), wear it for Onyxia. It is well worth it.
