What is your raid comp?
Who is your OT?
Do you have any MD's?
Who were you losing threat too?
Who were you losing threat on?
If you can answer these questions for me quick, I might get a better idea of what your having trouble with.
Cheers,
Hat

Sorry for the late response back after your quick response.
Anyways, long story short. Your DPS is doing it wrong.
Whelps to a ton of damage this is true, but this is only because there are lots of them. Lots of small attacks = big damage. But over all their damage is mitigated greatly by your ability to dodge parry and block....mostly block. Paladins and warriors are get choices for tanking whelps.
While AOE damage is nice, because people love to see huge numbers, its not constructive. The whelps should stay up the longest. They need to die before halfus reaches 50% because if you are stunned and the whelps stay up, you lose all of the wonderful avoidance and block, and get left with a lot of angry claws ripping you apart.
DPS needs to focus on one of the drakes ASAP.
Since it will be your job to free the whelps and collect some of the other drakes, you should leave it to your OT to take the first drake that is going to be burned down. All MD's should go to him and ALL DPS should nuke the drake down as quickly as possible.
Once one drake is dead, DPS needs to switch to the other one. Drakes are the #1 source of big and spiky tank damage.
with 2 down your healers will be able to relax a bit and maybe start to rotate some mana CD's to help them before phase 2.
Finish off the whelps and your left with 2 drakes and halfus. At this point you want to deiced whether its in your best interest to kill one more drake or to deal with the damage and kill halfus.
Aggro should not be your problem in this encounter, DPS should know their jobs.
Their are ton more tips I could give you on this fight, but I just wanted to let you know that aggro on whelps is not the tanks primary concern, your DPS should not be AOE'ing off the bat, they should be focus firing the drakes as quickly as possible.

What we always do is kill 2 drakes (i count the whelps also as a drake) and then kill halfus we dont even bother with the third drake.
The whelps if we have them and going after them we just stack them on the boss so that players can kill them with cleave or other spells/ability that hit multiple targets.
