15k tank and 4 clerics is retarded because of A) No DPS, B) Its just not necessary to have that many healers.
Do him weekly with 16k Paladin, 11k Mana Cleric, Ranger Rogue Bard Shaman.
Still drops. Got mine off a Ancient shardworm. The Elders dont drop spells. I got almost all the drop spells for these lvl range while hunting for this one. Took a total of 3 hours.
