Ozumat

Ozumat is the final boss of the Throne of the Tides in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

In Kelp'thar Forest, players starting out in Vashj'ir are immediately shipwrecked by Ozumat.

Players reach Abyssal Depths via a new submarine, which is immediately used to attack Ozumat. Later during the nagas' battle against Neptulon, Lady Naz'jar unleashes Ozumat. Ozumat attaches itself to Neptulon's "head" leading to the victory of the naga. After the battle with Ozumat in the Throne of the Tides, Ozumat swims away with Neptulon.

Background
Tales of the monstrous kraken that terrorize Azeroth's high seas were once relegated to myth... but no longer. By some ill means, the naga have bent Ozumat — the patriarch of all kraken — to their will and unleashed him against Neptulon and his followers.

Abilities

 * In Phase 1, Multiple s,  s, and  s appear.
 * Murlocs are AoE'able trash mobs: low health, and low damage output, but appear in packs.
 * Vicious Mindlashers are caster adds, casting a basic nuke, a healing reduction ability, and an AoE shadowbolt volley.
 * Unyielding Behemoths are melee adds with frontal cone and point-blank AoE attacks.
 * In Phase 2, three s, and multiple  s appear.
 * The Faceless Sappers simply channel a spell subduing Neptulon.
 * Blight Beasts have a short-range damage aura.

Ozumat himself casts a single spell, though its area of effect varies depending on the phase:

Tactics
The encounter consists of three phases. During phase 1, three different types of adds spawn, and must all be tanked and killed; the murloc packs are AoE'able, while the faceless adds require single-target damage. Interrupts on the casters are beneficial here. After a certain amount of adds have been killed, Phase 2 will begin.

In Phase 2, three faceless sappers appear and begin channeling a spell at Neptulon; DPS must kill those sappers. The tank must pick up and kite the Blight Beasts that spawn through this phase, taking care not to kite them through the other party members. Ozumat makes an appearance in this phase, spewing Blight of Ozumat at random party members, leaving a blighted area on the ground that people should move out of. The phase ends once all three faceless sappers have been killed; Neptulon purifies the waters, granting everyone a +health, +damage, and +regeneration buff. The Blight Beasts should be killed at this point.

Phase 3 is a DPS race: Ozumat must be driven off before Blight of Ozumat, now cast at the entire room, stacks to the point of being unhealable. This is generally the phase you wish to use DPS cooldowns on. Ozumat will capture Neptulon and retreat when his health has been reduced enough. A chest called Neptulon's Cache will be left behind, containing loot for the encounter.
