Instance

The instance starts off with a quest giver who gives you a crono-beacon. This device calls forth a dragon which fights for you. It can only be used in this instance.
The instance is a swamp, and the only thing in it of consequence is Medivh, standing near a portal. Clear a very large area around this portal of all the non-elite beasts. They aren't very hard to kill, but you'll need every advantage you can get for the upcoming fight. When you're ready, speak to Medivh to start the fight.
The battle consists of eighteen portals, each on a timer that opens a few minutes after the one before it. There are four locations the portals can open. When each opens it will spawn a mini-boss and multiple non-elite mobs.
The best strategy is to put your tank and one DPS person on the mini-boss, and have someone (preferably with good AoE capability) to take out the other mobs.
Between some of the fights you'll have a few moments to drink and bandage. Make the most of these breaks. When a portal opens you may want to have your tank engage the mini-boss and your mana users rest for a few moments if they need to.
Portals six, twelve, and eighteen have harder bosses. You may want to use a crono-beacon on each one of these.
Portal eighteen is the only one that does not have mobs in addition to the boss, but this boss is harder than the others.
