So, tonight my guild was attempting Azgalor in Hyjal Summit, relatively simple for us now as we've killed him many times. Rather than suiciding on Archimonde afterwards, we'd then go to Black Temple and clear up to Essence of Souls.
But... somehow or another, DPS on Azgalor and the trash packs was generally terrible - probably because of new recruits, but as a healer I don't watch the DPS meters. Regardless, at about 50% I thought things were going a bit slow, but didn't take much notice. At around 3%, all of a sudden something I'd never seen before used by Azgalor... Enrage!
Cue the tank getting hit for 23k+ followed by Azgalor rampaging around squishing everything into pulp. Eventually, just a few DPS were left, as Azgalor settled down to poke Thrall, who was now tanking him - we initially pull so that Thrall attacks him throughout the whole fight. Each hit on him took away about 5% health... but Azgalor was now at 1% health. Who then promptly killed Thrall, and immediately despawned, wasting a good half hour of our time.
Biggest moan I've ever heard over voice chat.
Anyway, does anyone else have stories of wiping on bosses at 1% health left on 'em? Otherwise I'll be... lonely... well, I and 24 others.

Not from WoW, but even more dramatic: The optional last boss of Star Ocean 2, a PSX game, has about 50 million hit points on the hardest difficulty level. Since like most old-school RPGs there is a 10k damage cap, obviously killing this boss takes quite a while. I spent 10 hours on the boss over the course of a week, and used several hundred consumables during the encounter (in this game, the use of a consumable does not take a turn, but it is on a cooldown shared by the entire party).
I finally wiped after getting the boss down to 10k.
Lol, I've actually heard many horror stories regarding that exact boss.

I've stopped counting the 1% wipes. But on the topic of Azgalor we recently killed him with one hunter left alive at the time of his death, who died the second after Azgalor to a RoF. :) The screaming and laughter on vent the last few seconds was only ever louder on our Kael'thas first kill. In the guild's TBC history is also included an epic Hydross kill with two rogues taking down the last 1% with Evasion and CloS popped.

Hello, Prince Malchezaar! We're still to get him down - got him to 1% a few times before an infernal invariably lands on the healer who is being beat on by the axes, while the Prince decided it would be fun to hit our poor prot paladin six times in a row (bye bye, 16k HP). Fun stuff.

My brother loved that game, but even he didn't love it enough to try and clear that boss.

Gurtogg Bloodboil. I hate that fight so very much because it is really bugged right now. More often than not people resist fel rage so he stays on the tanks, or people get oneshot during fel rage by taking 50k damage in half a second, or tanks get too many stacks too quickly and get oneshot before they can swap it off.
Praying that nothing stupid like that happens, only to have it happen at 10%, and Gurtogg doesn't die because he starts oneshotting everyone..
UGH

Well in my opinion uldaman has a hard boss if you in your in a group with a bad tank. We wiped around 5 times on every boss (Even the lame ones) i was pissed becouse he was a pally and he would go into fights w/o any mana (yes HIM w/o mana) and he would die so fast.... finaly i kiked him and got a 68 guildy to finish it in about 5 mins.
ALso once on my hunter a group summoned me for just the last boss of uldaman. one of there people left right before the last boss. We wiped like 7-8 times before we got a 70 guildy to hellp usw (A 66 druid died from him). i came back with 0% armor JUST for the last boss.
