Abilities

Lightning Cloud: Channeled [Hurricane]-like ability. 1500 - 2500 nature dmg/sec to anyone inside its area of effect. Get out of this as quickly as possible.
Enveloping Winds: She'll randomly target a member of the party, stunning the player for 5 seconds. This is a magic debuff, so it can and should be dispelled quickly so the targeted person doesn't get caught in the AoE.
Lung Burst: Dispellable magic debuff for 500 per tick.
Adds: She has two adds as well. They're not very tough, and they should be DPS'ed down first (or CC'd by a warlock,) so that they're out of the way. These adds do an AoE frost bolt effect.

Strategy

'Hydromancer Thespia is accompanied by two water elemental adds, each with around 16,000 HP. The elementals can be banished. They have a volley spell that deals approximately 900 frost damage. The adds should be killed before DPS begins on Thespia. They can be brought ouside of the room where Thespia resides to avoid her attacks.

Thespia will occasionally cast a Lightning Cloud which deals nature damage when underneath the cloud. Run from the cloud to avoid taking damage. The tank should constantly be moving around the small room. The cloud will not always be cast on the tank, so healers and ranged DPS must be ready to move if the cloud is cast above them.

Thespia's other ability puts the debuff Enveloping Winds on a player. This prevents the player from being able to move, which can be deadly when caught beneath a Lightning Cloud.

On Heroic mode, the elemental's water-bolt volley does approximately 2000 damage. However they only hit for about 500. DPS must be quick to kill the adds. The elementals can be stunned, significantly reducing the amount of damage taken before they are killed. You can also counterspell, bash, etc. their volleys.

A warlock, although not required, makes this boss fight trivial (especially in heroic, when the adds melee cloth for 1.5-2k). Repeatedly banish one add and chain-fear the other while the rest of the party burns her down.
