Oondasta is the most ridiculously hilarious world boss fight I have ever seen.
Because of Faction tags - in that your entire Faction shares a mob tag whether you're in the raid that started hitting the mob first or not - what should be a heroic NPC fight only to be attempted by the server's most progressive guilds turns into a case of fire ants devouring an elephant while it's still alive.
I can only be glad that the rez timer only goes to 2min, because I'm sure mine would have gone up to half an hour as the last arrow hit Oondasta, who by that time was buffed with 30 stacks of Growing Fury.
What made it extra difficult was that no-one could tank from halfway through the fight - there were just too many buff stacks for anyone to last more than 1 hit and Oondasta was spinning around to hit whoever was closest. Even if you weren't in melee range, you would rez, be hit by either Piercing Roar or Frill Blast and be stuck as a ghost for another 2min.
In the end, I figured that the best time to rez was straight after a Roar, Deterrence the Frill Blast and get the most out of your DPS time before the next Roar.
The 26g reward really wasn't worth the repair bill, but the screenshots of the skeleton carpet sure was! :)

The same thing with us on Mug'thol. But we kited him down to the beach and at least the run was nil.
We had small groups ready to pick up add's that respawned.
I got was to snag a nice 522 belt for my hunter and I was happy for the repair bill over several hundreds G's.
