Ahn'Qiraj Bosses Hotfixed

Two of the most
difficult bosses in Ahn'Qiraj - C'thun and Ouro, neither of whom have yet been defeated - have both been hotfixed
to make the encounters (presumably!) less difficult. With major PVE raiding guilds on the verge of giving up on
the buggy C'thun encounter (see Death and Taxes and Elitist Jerks for examples), CM Drysc posted
regarding changes to both encounters. If you approach either of these two bosses in the future expect the
following:- Ouro's Quake effects deal significantly less damage
- Lowered hit points for C'thun's Giant Claw Tentacles and Giant Eye Tentacles
- Decreased damage from C'thun's Ground Rupture ability, which should also now be resistible
- Significantly decreased melee damage from C'thun's Giant Eye Tentacles
- The faction changing debuff applied to players in C'thun's stomach should no longer appear
- Tentacles should no longer spawn in C'thun's stomach
- A player in C'thun's stomach can no longer be the target of C'thun's Eye Beam

Don't forget the issue with the BWL's gate not opening after killing Vael, disabling any progress further in the instance. It seems like the content just isn't tested fully before going live, but I guess that's become the norm with MMOs. sigh.
Also, reports are that C'Thun's eye lazer STILL targets people in his stomache.

Any chance that there is some specific task that someone in C'Thun's stomach has to do? That was the first thought I had, but I'm sure others have thought of this.

I bet if you cast an AoE in there he'd burp you back out...
