Strategies
Avoid the Frozen Orbs!
Tanks switch whenever the Frostbite debuff is off. At the start, tanks can handle some number of stacks but as the raid gets more stacks of the Whiteout debuff, it makes harder for healers to keep tanks alive. In addition, he sometimes immobilizes the tanks using Freezing Ground. This will prevent the tanks from dodging Frozen Orb.
Raid position is not an issue here. All DPS and healers have to watch is Frozen Orb. Whenever a blue circle appears near you, just move away and ranged DPS kill any orb that spawns.
Healing will get more difficult as the raid gets more stacks of Whiteout. Healers focus more on the tanks as the fight lasts longer. Watch out when you see a Frozen Orb heading towards the tanks.
In a nutshell
Do not stand in the way of the swirling Frozen Orbs.
Ranged DPS have to kill the Frozen Orbs immediately.
Every 38 seconds he will cast Whiteout, which does lots of Frost damage, and adds a Frost damage-increasing debuff, just like Garfrost's Permafrost. If Toravon isn't killed fast enough, the raid will wipe due to the immense amount of Frost damage taken.
Toravon will now be affected appropriately by Area-of-Effect damage spells.
The Frost Orb corpses in the Toravon encounter will now despawn faster.
