Wowwiki suggestes you need raid-wise DPS of 6667 to down Gruul before he starts 1-shotting tanks.

Figuring 2 healers (0 dps) & 1 tank (300 dps) you need 5 people to put out about 1,300 DPS. Brutallus (the tier 6.5 DPS race boss requires 26k DPS, nearly 4 fold increase over Gruul.

Math - the # of characters on DPS is less than 1/3 of a normal 25-man raid. target raid DPS is 1/4 of what they need at their gear level.

Conclusion: next challenge please.

What? Plain english please.

Anyways, I can't tell the setup they used. Two tanks, two healers, 4 DPS? or 1 healer? or 1 tank? Idk.

P.S. 6667 DPS is considering 2 tanks (i'm assuming). If you have one tank, like in your setup, then the hurtful strikes will mean your tank is going to go down faster.

They killed Gruul on growth 20, this is the challenge.
A tank with kara-equivalent gear cannot go past growth 15 even if heal-spammed.
