fire giants being a tier below permafrost ice giants despite being a copy & paste reskin of the same mob?

They aren't a tier below, for the ones that have linked aggro. The permafrost giants all stand in range of another, creating pull difficulty, whereas there is a fire giant spawn who is alone. That specific one is lower tier (if it spawns under level 51).

Mobs like Uulump and Prince Selrach are 'duo god' tier but both soloable by an enchanter?

I haven't heard about Uulump being soloed, but taking a look I can see it would be possible by charming Warlord Hikyg if that info is accurate, or without that pet if Uulump's HP is incorrectly listed as 32K right now. Please advise on his stats since you seem to know.

Prince has only been soloed by Enchanters who have used the busted version of Lull, which is slated to be nerfed to its useless classic version. If someone can show they are able to solo him without Lulling the room and without consumables, then it would merit a tier change. A solo kill without pull help will require running him to zoneline and getting a root to stick long enough to be able to fight him without a crowd around. Might be possible, but hasn't been shown yet.

having sky stuff on a challenge like this is silly on an emulated server that has daily sky guild-rotations.

Why's that? Guilds can choose to let their members do challenges if they want (it's already happened with challenges in Kael) and the content doesn't all get perma cleared anyway. No rotations on Red either.

Khelkar Icepaw being god mode but Kerdelb & Bledrek being a tier lower?

As someone who has solo'd all three mobs many times I'd argue that Kerdelb and Bledrek are harder simply because they're a 2 part fight with their smaller versions spawning shortly thereafter...vs. Khelkar being a one and done.

Kerd and Bled aren't lower tier, you must be referring to the bad, old wiki page. As for Khelkar, he is in a room with several others, two of which are over level 50. Will be interested to see your thoughts after trying it without lull. And OFC, everything in the same tier doesn't have exactly the same difficulty anyway.

Bristlebane Puppet being on the same tier as Emp Chottal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bristlebane Puppet doesn't have linked aggro and is perma rooted, so he can be freely loaded up with debuffs before engaging. Chottal is in a room with many guards. That said, Bristlebane is indeed very difficult and might merit moving up a tier, but seems possible with pre-parked charm pets. Also, Velious and Kunark content are separate challenges (although yes, the difficulty levels should still be similar between them).
