It finally happened. After more than 100 pulls over the months, with many gear increases on the way, I was finally able to defeat the Lich King on 25 Heroic difficulty all on my own. Remember to subscribe and follow me on www.twitch.tv/evrelia. Click read more for info on how I did it!

I did this fight as Destruction. My talents were Soul Leech, Mortal Coil, Soul Link, Burning Rush, Grimoire of Supremacy and Kil'jaeden's cunning.

Destruction became a lot stronger at soloing with the changes to Soul Leech. With your Voidwalkers Void Shield, the Soul Leech effect can stay permanently up on your Voidwalker, meaning Void Shield never triggers and your Voidlord retains 60% damage reduction. This means your pet doesn't need much healing at all. I then also used Rain of Fire to get unlimited burning embers, allowing me to spam Chaos Bolts and do extremely high DPS throughout the fight allowing me to beat his harsh 15 minute enrage timer.

Phase 1 is the most annoying part of the fight (and the cause of most wipes). You need to manage your Voidwalker extremely well to get aggro on every ghoul, to prevent the plague from going in too early, or stacking too high and coming back onto you (although a purification potion can be used in a pinch).

Phase 2 requires you to take a hit from the boss once per minute in order to be marked as a tank so that the Valkyr don't pick you up. More or less if you can get into phase 2 with all the Shamblings dead and you on full HP, you can finish the fight as long as your DPS is high enough.It finally happened.
