Wow. This is a fun one!
I scouted out the reaver down by the moat and decided that I didn't want to try him. All the potential pets down near him were light blue and I'd have to lev from on top of the goo house to get around behind him without aggroing him and I'd have to lull like 4 mobs right next to him to get him solo and the hallways are even more cramped than the ramps above.
So I went back up to the final platform (and on that note, why did I never think of levving up onto this doorframe before so that it was a sure thing to get across?

I make sure bedlams are fresh, then I aggro the inside with pet and figure I'll just root the golem and brute force my way to an S- with CH clickies on wraith. I get the reaver and the fog golem he's with, root the golem as Wraith is getting pounded, back him off a few steps ... and yeah, pathing fail. Next thing I know this is the scene:

Wraith was dead a second later and I hatted out, recharged, and gated back up to the platform.
Chatting with guildies a bit, it sounds like Wraith has lower-than-normal hp for a level 45... either that or he just got spanked with some melee rng bad luck. I mean, he did tank a level 42ish mob, the reaver, and then a level 45ish monk mob on and of there. Oh well.
I read up on Lor's comment about how he chain-petted a few things and then began preparing to do that myself. Below is me taking like 30 minutes to hit 3 mobs with weapons (I didn't have enough lariats but was hoping I wouldn't end up needing the light-blue skele), umbra, rune 5, and VoG:

Finally I got the goo on the platform charmed and buffed up, brought him across the chasm of ultimate doom, and gnomed it up to go peak through the door and attempt my pull, which I was hoping would consist of me rooting the pathing golem inside and aggroing the reaver so I could drag him across to my waiting pet death squad:

And it worked, actually. Reaver came right across the gap that has given me oh, so many troubles up to this point:

Oh hey. Check that out. This goo is actually HOLDING FUCKING EVEN with the reaver that tends to annihilate anything I charm in no time at all:

Still going strong! Wtf?! I didn't even help the pet along at all because my plan was to do as little as possible to aggro the reaver, figuring that would make it easier for my subsequent pets to pull him off of me:

And then the chasm of ultimate doom struck again. The damn reaver and pet weren't even moving at all, they seemed to be sitting still with no push one way or the other, and then suddenly they disappeared. So I turned to the mobs behind me and re-rooted them (I think they had about 30 seconds left on fetter) as quickly as I could:

I ran off the edge and started spiraling down as quickly as I could. It looked like the reaver was getting the better of my pet finally, and not wanting to fail on this attempt I started trying to click my reaper on my way down. Out of range out of range out of range... out of charges. WHAT THE HELL?! I KNOW that thing was charged, I just recharged all 3 of my reapers last night after I used my last charged one on Dartain. Unfortunately I didn't catch any screenshots right here because of my franticness to pull this out. I got down to the ground with my pet at ~10% though, stepped into melee and actually ate like 4 rounds without the reaver getting all the way through my rune.
And then it was dead:

Sulfur crystals loot and I hatted out as my pet started on the second reaver. Hmm. I wonder if that thing will stay standing there and cause havoc for all the people leveling in the zone. Sure sure, I didn't train them with my pet death squad (plus all the other mobs in the zone), but now this guy is sitting right here until... who knows? Lol

So yeah! Turns out I ended up doing the fight without strong clickies because of some bug where my charge got used because of z-axis or something, and even ended up doing him with just 1 (very badass) goo pet! Yay!
Too bad all the giants have been down nonstop for like 2 days now. I keep logging on my little druid to check on them and I haven't seen them up at all
