The gronn Durn the Hungerer is one of the seven sons of Gruul the Dragonkiller, the gronn overlord of Outland's ogres.
It is recommended that at least five players who are level 66 or higher try to take him on. He does a 10-yard AOE knock-back. Generally, his hits cause 1000-2000 damage for plate wearers, 2000-3000 damage for mail wearers, 2500-3500 damage for leather wearers, and 3000-4000 damage for cloth wearers. Thus, it is of paramount importance for cloth wearers to stay as far away from Durn as possible and still be within the maximum range of their spells.
The quest to kill Durn exists for both Alliance and Horde players; Alliance players receive it from the "Wanted: Durn the Hungerer" signboard in Telaar, and Horde players can get it from Warden Bullrok in Garadar.
Strategy
Durn wanders in a circular pattern around the Spirit Fields that surround Oshu'Gun in southwestern Nagrand. It is possible to wait at the area south of the Consortium camp and then tag him. Then kite him to the camp and let the guards take him down. As long as you tagged him, don't worry if the guards do most of the job, as you'll still get credit for the kill.
Note: This, however, does not make him soloable by any account. He can and will annihilate the entire party with a good 30% of his health to spare if no player damage is done. He moves fast and is immune to any sort of crowd control, root, or snare, so in order to kite him you'll need some type of run speed boost.
Durn hits very, very hard, roughly equivalent to the second-to-last encounter in the Ring of Blood event. Though the quest and Durn are marked level 67, at that level two healers and a full group of 5 are pretty much required. Durn has roughly 120,000 health. He also has a wide area point blank AoE which deals damage and knocks back. A well-geared threesome (or maybe duo) of level 70 players could probably take him down.
It is also possible to solo him with a well-equipped protection warrior with moderate block values. (See [1])
Alliance Solo Strategy:
Previously it was possible for some classes to kite Durn to Telaar because he did not have a de-aggro range, however he now does and even with constant attacks he cannot be pulled to Telaar.
