This actually makes me impressed by the explosion, as that's a clever trick and a hell of a way to go to simply blow up the city, what with that boss being a Raid Boss and all.
No, actually, what the warlock did was dismiss his pet that had Living Bomb on it, hearth back to Ironforge after everything was done with the raid, walk into the auction house, and resummon the pet. Pets continue to have their buffs and debuffs on them after being dismissed and resummoned, so the pet still had the Living Bomb on it. *Boom!*
By making Living Bomb only work on players instead of pets, it both made it more difficult to do this trick but also made it easier on healers in raid parties to get rid of the Living Bomb. Pet stats and buffs aren't shown on the left-hand side of the screen (something I've asked to be changed), so unless a healer specifically targets the pet, he or she might not know that the pet has a Living Bomb on it. Now, healers can just watch the left-hand side of their screens and not worry about pets so much.
