how tough is the VSR fight?

I couldn't believe it when I heard, but apparently VS chance to procs on his HITS, even ripostes. As such the warrior uses evasive to stop VS from hitting/procing.

One day I will go over my logs to investigate this.

This is why the myth of his life tap being a frontal cone existed. When a whole raid is hitting him from the front and he ripostes a bunch of them it will seem like he's doing an aoe.

The key is high level warrior using evasive + aggro lock stuff + chain runes + patch heals and enough dps to down him before disc runs out and players oom.

More aggro pingpong = higher chance of wipe.
More riposting = higher chance of wipe
Too few enchs = higher chance of wipe
Not enough dps = higher chance of wipe

60 warrior + 3 equal level enchs (60 preferable) chain rune + cleric + adequate dps = win

If you throw a bunch of random level crap at him with no strategy, it's not gonna go well.

Doable by a highly specialized 6 man, less highly specialized 8 man, or reasonably thought out 12 man easily. A haphazardly tossed together 20-40 man raid can fail if not executed properly. Like Sontalak ... it's a finesse fight rather than a zerg cluster_fight.
