-Healing is free for all in phase 3. Keeping the tank alive = win, so focus all heals on the tank. If you see someone in desperate need throw a heal their way, but it is your main job to keep the tank alive. Priests should try to throw a shield onto the tank if they see a fear incoming. It is during the fears that most tank deaths occur. The healers are feared, Onyxia crists, tank takes a dirt nap. try to use your fear immunity wisely.

-Periodically the ground will shake for about 3 seconds then [http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=265603 jets of lava] will shoot up through the cracks and you will be feared. If you cross one of the cracks while feared you will take about 1200 damage. To help avoid this stand at the bass of the walls and you will often be feared into the wall instead of over the cracks. You used to be able to move backwards to avoid fear but it no longer works. The priests will be focused on the main tank so try and heal yourself with bandages and stay safe.

 Trinkets like the mithril insignia and the pvp trinket as well as will of the forsaken for undead and fear ward for dwarf priests will work against this fear, but tremor totems won't. If you are not the MT avoiding fear may cause Onyxia to agro on you if the MT gets feared. This could equal a raid wipe if she breathes on the DPS group or tail swipes the opposite group into the whelp pits.

The fourth warder does not move and may be skipped in the chamber just before Onyxia.  The patrols are staggered; the first warder comes further out of Onyxia's lair than the second, which comes further than the third.
-Warders are pretty tough mobs, they take a while to kill even with 40 people. They have a nasty melee attack but the real danger is the fire nova they cast that hits for about 1000 damage per. The main tank will engage the warder well clear of the body of the raid. Wait for a call of 'DPS ON' then ranged and casters may attack at will. Melee however are better to shoot their guns then melee- just stay clear of the nova. Feel free to charge in and try and land a concussive blow or an intercept stun, but be aware that you are not a priority target for heals.

WIth a group of Rogues/Protection spec Warriors, melee may stunlock a warder while it is destroyed.  Killing them in this way is good practice for Sartura in [[Temple of Ahn'Qiraj|AQ40]].
