Our first two failed attempts we had too much damage on the boss and couldn't handle the rate at which things spawned.

I'd be a bit worried about Meowry tanking that at 44 too, but I still think we could do it. It's also possible for Marn to tank it with spirit bond running and Meowry on aggressive smacking around the little monkeys or the two sharing the load as well. But the party needs to be aware of how things are going to be be tanked. Teamspeak helps this because you can tell the healer to stop healing you and start healing whoever else.
I'm pretty sure that spawns are controlled by the amount of damage he has taken as well. He wakes them up so they can heal him. A pet tank, especially mine, will not have nearly the steady damage output that a warrior will have. Meowry flurries and crits a fair bit but there isn't a lot of control on that damage.
Of course while I think we might be able to do it, I'm not sure Treesh and I will have all the prereqs done anyway. :)
As for my healing with a paladin. I was drained on mana at the end of it all, and I did use innervate one of the runs with my druid healing. So yeah it is worse than I first made it seem but it can be done. I've gone in without AoE for the little guys as well and they are still not a big deal. Using bandages is very possible in the encounter as well for all but the tank. I'd feel more comfortable with another healer around be it two shaman or a druid or what not. A bear druid would tank him quite well and could do some self healing if need be, though that can get tricky for druids. Don't know if we have a druid in that range though.
But really I just want to clear the stupid quests out of my log for Scarlet Monestary. :)
