High Warlord Naj'entus is a Naga lord boss in the Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley.

Abilities

Health: 3,800,000
Melee: ~4500 on plate
Needle Spine: 3 random targets in a cone shape each take 3188-4312 physical and additionally deal 2375-2625 frost damage AoE within 6 yards
Impaling Spine random single target, 4513-4987 physical damage plus a 30 sec DoT for 2750 every 3 seconds plus stun, 20 sec cooldown, lootable
Tidal Shield : Renders Naj'entus immune to everything, regenerates health, deals 8500 frost damage to all raid members when broken, 60 sec cooldown
Berserk (Hard Enrage): After 8 minutes he gains 500% damage increase and 150% attack speed

Preparation

One main tank is needed, as usual ranged DPS are more useful than melee DPS. The fight is very healing intensive, at least 7 healers is recommended, depending on gear more may be appropriate. 2-3 of these should focus on the tank, while all others keep the raid at max health.

All raid members must have over 85000 hitpoints, and 10,000 is highly recommended. This is needed to survive 8500 frost damage that the entire raid receives following the bursting of Naj'entus's tidal shield. Frost resistance gear and [Major Frost Protection Potions] can help but stamina stacking is a better option to consistently survive the tidal wave. Everybody should have health potions and healthstones.

After a standard pull, the melee group sets up close to the boss, and all ranged classes distribute over a large area, each raid member 6 yards apart from everyone else (to avoid the frost AoE from Needle Spine). The melee group should split in 2-3 subgroups so that AoE damage is minimised.

Impaling Spine

Every 20 seconds Naj'entus shoots a large coral cone at a random raid member. The spine paralyses and damages its target until it's removed by another raid member. When somebody is hit by a spine, it must be immediately looted by a nearby raid member. It's possible to carry up to five spines in the inventory.

Tidal Shield

Every 60 seconds (the first time 60 seconds after the pull), Naj'entus casts a Tidal Shield (instead of throwing an impaling spine). He stops throwing needle spines for 10 seconds after casting the shield, but continues to melee. The shield can be broken by throwing an impaling spine looted earlier at it.

Since the shield deals 8500 frost damage to the entire raid, everybody must be at top health before the spine is thrown.

Macros

This is a quick method to throw a spine from the inventory:

/use Naj'entus spine

It's also a good idea to announce the facts of being hit by and having looted a spine:

/say <name> got spined!

and

/say <name> looted a spine!

Quotes

Aggro:

You will die, in the name of Lady Vashj!

Impale:

Stick around!
I'll deal with you later!

Special:

Blood will flow!

Enraged:

My patience has run out! Die, die!

Kills a player:

Your success was short lived!
Time for you... to go!

Death:

Lord Illidan will... crush you.
