Strategy

Ichoron initially comes out with a "Protective Shield" buff with 35 charges that reduces any damage by 99%. Any attack or spell hit made on Ichoron will remove one charge. When all of the charges are gone, her shield will erupt, dealing damage and knocking nearby players back. She will become untargetable and low-health elementals will spawn around the room and move directly toward her. When an elemental reaches her or when there are no elementals left alive, she will become targetable again. This cycle will repeat: 35 Charges, Shield Eruption, Elementals summoned, DPS boss phase.

Each elemental that reaches her once she is up will restore a small percentage of HP. Killing the elementals causes them to erupt, dealing damage and knocking back nearby players. Using the Defense Control Crystals around the room after Ichoron's bubble pops will kill all elementals and, if timed right, can stop any from reaching her. The crystals are the key to the Heroic achievement  [Dehydration]. Note, however, that using a Defense Control Crystal will cause all of the elementals to explode and can kill players if coordinated poorly, and will also prevent getting the  [Defenseless] achievement in Heroic.

At 25%, she enrages and stops summoning adds, but hits hard.

Many groups find it useful to pull Ichoron up the stairs to the back of the platform by the entrance. This bottlenecks incoming elementals, making them much easier to AoE down and giving them farther to run. This strategy can optionally be used in combination with the crystal activators. Once she enrages at 25%, it is a DPS race.

Note that Protective Bubble severely reduces tank and DPS aggro, but does not reduce healer aggro. Tanks will want to use taunt and adjust their abilities to avoid depending on aggro from damage. Frost Resistance should help, and low cast time spells will burn through her shield faster.
