Arcanist Doan is a level 37 elite human located in the Athenaum section of the Scarlet Monastery.

Background

He is the keeper of the Monastery's library; a guardian of the arcane that the Scarlet Crusade is rumoured to distrust. Yet he is indeed a trusted official of the Crusade, keeping a vital key that grants access to Scarlet operations across the Plaguelands. Arcanist Doan believes that arcane magic is the only way to rid Lordaeron of the Scourge.

Before joining the Scarlet Crusade, he was presumably a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand in much the same position, as he can be seen during the meeting of Commander Mograine, the two paladins Tirion Fordring and Lady Abbendis and the two priests Fairbanks and Isillien in the Old Hillsbrad instance of the Caverns of Time, wearing the same tabard as the other members of Mograine's circle of trusted friends.

Strategy

The one thing to watch out for is his fire-based AoE move he uses when at half-health. This can inflict HUGE amounts of damage to the targets. All mages should use [Fire Ward], if available, and cast [Dampen Magic] on the rest of the party. This Fire based AoE can be Line of Sighted, so if you tank him near the doorway, you can just move out of line of sight when he bubbles and begins casting his AoE.

He also Polymorphs a target, so make sure that your priests and paladins dispel it. Druids can shift out of polymorph, Shaman have grounding totem for Polymorph, Paladins can bubble out of it, the polymorph cast can be Counterspelled.

Overall, this encounter is pretty simple.
