Picking up the adds from their 3 spawn areas is somewhat difficult with two tanks, as is keeping up two tanks through the damage of all the Fanatics at once.

Lady Deathwhisper is the Supreme Overseer of the Cult of the Damned and the second boss of the Icecrown Citadel raid.

25-man PTR Encounter Outline

Phase One

Lady Deathwhisper is protected by mana barrier and is untankable. She will cast Shadow Bolt and Dominate Mind on random raid members (Note that this ability is cast relatively often and multiple raid members can be dominated at once, CC-ing them is wise as their stats are buffed the same as Chains of Kel'Thuzad). Waves of adds will spawn, three of each type, from the gates on either side of the room with a seventh add of a random type spawning from the stairs.

Adherents are very dangerous AoE damage casters and will explode at low HP, their spells will be unintteruptable if you allow them to cast dark empowerment. These should be kill targets first.

Fanatics melee very hard, cleave and apply nasty debuffs to the tank.

Phase one ends when you have burned through 14 million HP on Lady Deathwhisper. DPS will need to be split between the adds and the boss. Since the adds are considerably more dangerous to melee it may be wise to have melee burn the boss' shield while casters kill the adds.

Phase Two

Lady Deathwhisper will cast new spells once her mana barrier shimmers and fades away and she will begin melee-ing, a tank should pick her up immediately. She will no longer cast Shadow Bolt and will instead cast Frostbolt on her primary aggro target. Adds in play will remain and should be killed. Raid members will now have to worry about moving out of Death and Decay which does 3,000 damage per second unresistable. An interrupt rotation should be established on Lady Deathwhisper, 45,000 Frostbolts are somewhat dangerous to the tank. Lady Deathwhisper will continue casting dominate mind in this phase.

More importantly Lady Deathwhisper will begin animating the dead bodies of Adherents and Fanatics in this phase. They will spawn from where they died and tanks must pick them up and ranged should continue killing them.

Lady Deathwhisper has no other tricks and will die after losing all 13,000,000 of her hit points. Lady Deathwhisper will berserk after 8 minutes of combat through both phases.
