Forgemaster Gog'duh is the first boss combination to the left of the entry of Bloodmaul Slag Mines, found in Frostfire Ridge. It is a two phase (boss) fight, w/ 2 first phase tank-able adds and several second phase non-tank-able adds.

Phase 1 - Gog'duh's summoned adds, Ruination and Calamity, should be tanked. Gog'duh only casts Magma Barrage at random players.

Note: Time-Lost Vikings is found on Heroic in the main hallway, across from the entrance to this area.

Do not stand in pools summoned by Magma Barrage, which can be interrupted and are easily avoided.
Tank should be prepared to pick up adds immediately after they have been summoned by Gog'duh .
DPS should burn each add quickly as they spawn, to avoid being overwhelmed, unless going for the achievement.
Tank and melee should run out of Ruination's Rough Smash, where an AOE mark appears.
Everyone should avoid ground spikes from Runiation's Shatter Earth.
Dispel Calamity's Dancing Flames , before they jump to another player.
Interrupt Calamity's Firestorm, when channeled.

Note: A Gift of Earth and Fire is achieved on Heroic by keeping both Ruination and Calamity alive throughout the entire fight.

Phase 2 - Magmolatus should be tanked, but not the Molten Elemental adds.

Tank should be prepared to pick up Magmolatus when Gog'duh's health gets low.
Tank and melee should run out of Magmolatus' Slag Smash, where an AOE mark appears.
Dispel Magmolatus' Withering Flames and Choking Ashes to reduce damage and mitigate debuff.
Avoid Molten Impact and the resulting Molten Elemental.
Do not stand in Volcanic Tantrum or pools summoned by Magma Barrage.
