Warlord Zon'ozz is the second boss (or third if Yor'sahj the Unsleeping is killed first) to appear in the Dragon Soul raid.[1]
World first heroic kill on 25-man achieved 6.12.2011 by Blood Legion - US-Illidan.
Background
Countless ages ago, Warlord Zon'ozz and his soldiers waged endless war against the forces of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron. Millennia have passed, but the warlord still serves the chaotic might of the Old God N'Zoth. Deathwing has now unleashed this legendary faceless one to crush the defenders of Wyrmrest Temple.
Abilities
Focused Anger — Warlord Zon'ozz increasingly focuses his anger and rage, increasing his Physical damage done by 10% and his attack speed by 10%. This effect stacks.- Psychic Drain — Warlord Zon'ozz channels a wave of psychic force in a 30-degree cone in front of the himself, dealing 120000[note 1] Shadow damage and leeching life for 10 times the amount of damage dealt.
- Disrupting Shadows — Warlord Zon'ozz covers random players with Disrupting Shadows. The effect inflicts 36099[note 2] Shadow damage every 2 seconds. The shadows also deal 60,100 Shadow damage and knockback the targeted player if the effect is dispelled.
- Void of the Unmaking — Warlord Zon'ozz summons a Void of the Unmaking. This void travels forward until it encounters a soul to absorb.
- Void Diffusion — When the Void collides with a player it diffuses, inflicting 180000[note 3] Shadow damage split evenly between nearby players. The force of this diffusion causes the void to ricochet in the opposite direction, and the absorbed souls increases the damage the Void inflicts by 20% per diffusion.
- Black Blood Eruption — If the Void of Unmaking reaches the outer edges of the Maw of Go'rath, it will spark a violent reaction. This eruption deals 60,000[note 4] Shadow damage to all targets within the maw, knocking them into the air
- Zon'ozz Diffused — When the Void collides with Warlord Zon'ozz, it inflicts a distracting shock to him. The Void Diffusion increases the damage Zon'ozz takes by 5% for every time the Void of the Unmaking bounces between players. This collision enrages Warlord Zon'ozz, causing him to awaken the Mouth of Go'rath and lose his Focused Anger.
- Black Blood of Go'rath — Warlord Zon'ozz inflicts 14,099[note 5] Shadow damage every 1 second to all players for 30 sec. In Heroic Difficulty each tentacles of Go'rath inflicts 3795[note 6] Shadow damage every 2 seconds to all nearby enemies. The damage is multiplied by the number of tentacles alive.

In Heroic Difficulty, the awakening of the Maw of Go'rath causes many different types of tentacles to emerge and attack the players.

- Shadow Gaze — The Eye of Go'rath casts its Shadowy Gaze at a random player, inflicting 28,000[note 7] Shadow damage.
- Claw of Go'rath
- Ooze Spit — When not tanked the Claw of Go'rath spits ooze at a random target, inflicting 100,000 Shadow damage to the target and any allies within 4 yards.

Strategy
Separate into one squad of melee and one squad of ranged. These two squads will be responsible for preventing the Void of the Unmaking from hitting the walls (or the boss prematurely).
Phase 1
At the pull, the tank should face the boss toward ranged DPS. The boss will spawn the Void of the Unmaking in front, so facing him towards ranged causes it to spawn near ranged. Immediately after this happens, the tank should rotate the boss to face him away from the raid, because a Psychic Drain will soon blast any players (hopefully just the tank) in a cone in front of the boss.
Disrupting Shadows should always be dispelled, but carefully. The victim must have enough health to survive the 60000 damage, and any other raid damage going on. The knockback caused by the dispel could throw players into the Void at an inopportune time.
While the Void is active, the raid should strive to make it bounce between ranged and melee. The Void should always be bounced by a team, since the damage is divided among nearby players, making the healing much less desperate. The more times it bounces, the more damage it does each time it collides with a player. When the collision damage is high enough to make the healers anxious, the tank should kite the boss into the path and melee should get out of the way and let the void strike the boss.
The Psychic Drain starts out as a moderately dangerous, but survivable, attack. As the boss stacks Focused Anger the Psychic Drain becomes more and more damaging until it can one-shot the tank. To cope with this, the tank must use a defensive cooldown in anticipation of the blast. Most squads trigger a black phase after the second Psychic Drain and before the third, so the tank should be ready to activate some cooldown before the second Psychic Drain at approximately 2 minute intervals.
Phase 2
When the Void collides with Zon'ozz, the boss loses his stacks of Focused Anger, and suffers a debuff which increases the damage he suffers from player attacks. Unfortunately, it also activates a variety of tentacles which attack the raid.
The raid should pile up to do AoE heals while the multitude of tentacles zap the raid. It common for each black phase to be mitigated by using one healer's cooldown. Druids use 
[Tranquility] ; Priests use 
[Divine Hymn] ; Paladins use 
[Aura Mastery] combined with 
[Resistance Aura] ; Shaman use 
[Spirit Link Totem].
30 seconds after Zon'ozz is struck by the Void the battle will return to phase 1. Zon'ozz will generate another Void, so the tank should face him toward ranged DPS in anticipation. Once the void is spawned, point the boss away from raid to minimize the damage from Psychic Drain.
Repeat until the boss dies.
