Ok I'll give some examples.

1) Void Walkers in Arcatraz that within 10 seconds do +2500 damage that you can't stop, and melee heal themselves for more than a 900 spell damage mage, a 2000 atk power Rog and 1500 atk power enhancement shaman can't out damage unless every single one of them, including priest and warrior, blows all their damage cooldowns and trinkets.

2) Bugged shit in mech and botanica, too many bugs to list.

3) Black Morass, I don't even want to go into it, if you've done it you know what I'm talking about.

4) Shattered Halls, 6 mob elite pulls.

5) Rooms full of wandering mobs, not just a few roamers, but the whole room full in Arcatraz. Bugged agro ranges that make it so unless your whole group waits about 100 yards back EQ style while the warrior pulls, you will be fucked.

6) Arcane Guardian mobs in Tempest Keeps, nonstop 1.5k arcane dmg to random targets, then a random 5k explosion when they die. Not an explosion that if you are near them, because they don't cast it, you can't just be like oh, it's about to die it's casting it's death spell, run away. Nope, because it will follow you till it dies, then you take 5k. And the fact that they continue to do the 1.5k after they die. This little ability is not a problem in itself, it is a skill check thing, it was fine in Maraudon with the oozes. but much of arcatraz is narrow paths, and you can't simply run away from corpse.

7) Arcane Guardians coming in more than 1, LOL.

8) The "death" debuff that kills you that can 90% of the time not be removed. I'm sure it's supposed to do a set number of damage and be removable, but it randomly is not this way most of the time.

9) Final Boss of Arc (not the event to get him). I'm sorry Blizzard, but 2 mind controls on 1 encounter vs 5 people is too much.

10) Shattered Halls rogues that seem to sap the priest ever single time (ai or bad luck?) And then stunlock somebody else. You don't know when they are coming, and you basically have to jerk off and wait for it to come before you fight anything or else you will have (see above, random pointless wipe that has nothing to do with skill).

I can go on forever, anyone else who has done these instances who wants to add to the list?
