Actually, the way we did 'Watch him die worked' just fine. We tried burning him down once, but wiped at 1% and never managed to repeat or top this success.

So we tried it this way:

I ( tank, paladin) pulled the Watchers and adds, except the boss and ran the hell outta there, towards the instance entrance. As soon as I had them following me the group started attacking the boss.

I stunned them with Holy Wrath along the way etc.
At the entrance (don't leave) I tried to stay alive as long as possible, using Lay on Hands, Pots, Sacred Shield etc.

When I was about to die I popped Divine Shield, lost aggro, waited a few seconds while the mobs ran back to my group, then dropped the shield. regained aggro, they bounced back and came towards me again I died, they ran towards the group once again but the boss died, we got the achievement, tada!

Not an exploit or anything imo/afaik, just the often cited "creative use of game mechanics". ^^

Another time we did it this way I popped Divine Protection instead, kept the aggro this way instead of losing it. They still downed the boss, earning the achievement for the guys who still needed it.
