Bosses and encounter order from the beta client (build 1.60.1.70205). Drops from AtlasLoot, the WoWSims database for Forever and the Classic 1.12 database (CMaNGOS Classic-DB), limited to items that exist in the client. Drop rates are the Classic 1.12 ones and may change in Forever; items without a rate are not listed for this boss in that database.
