Hitbox is too small.

Melees are hitting him in the video from about 3x further than they can on p99.

Sontalak currently has Draco hitbox

Found Sontalaks missing proc Char: Decrease Hitpoints by 660 (L52) to 702 (L57)

Looks like he is currently set to proc Molten Breath at 5% chance. Need more discussion on this.

According to http://web.archive.org/web/200406061....shtml?id=6466 at the bottom of the page,
people mention him having the proc molten breath as well as the char proc 702dd. He absolutely destroyed tanks on live and it was a quick fight to see if the raid did enough dps. The way he is now the tank doesn't take much damage at all

Any word on increasing hitbox? This is significant because of the targeted AE... the tiny hitbox changes the dynamic of the fight.

Also with Sontalak being slowable, I forgot to link the source of the quote I posted above.

pretty sure he's not slowable anymore, used to be but after shaman slow got disease counters (so sont couldn't dispel it) they changed him. As for hiding from the ae, not really only way is to stay out of range until you are ready to do damage, WW being an outdoor zone means all that lovely terrain won't hide you for jack from his ae.

A thing that might help is that he is slowable. However, he often dispells himself so you need to recast slow often, however, that might be enough change in damage to make him end up dying

So when the main tank is right under sont's nuts, it dispells sontalak also. malo, tash, slow, whatever ;p

Some interesting stuff from 2003:

Sontalak seemed to stop casting his AE whenever he was slowed or dotted. I'm assuming he was instead curing himself. If this is the case, a good strategy might be to dot the hell out of him and stop his AE altogether.

He cures more than just slow. When I hit him with Blood of Saryrn(65 Poison DoT), the AE seemed to stop for 2 or 3 ticks, because he had to cast his cure 2 or 3 times to get rid of it. If Druids, Shaman, Necro all stacked dots on him, we might be able to stop his AE altogether. My only concern is that it might have been lag that made me think he wasn't casting AE while dotted.
