Arreken Skyward has two random emotes that are spoken in Draconic Language and will be about his "tail" or his "bite".
If the text says, "Standing in front of my mighty jaws puts you in a convenient place for a quick meal!", then any melee standing near the front of Arreken (frontal up to 180 degrees) will be killed. You will want to use a Stoneskin/Death Prevent on your MT for this emote so you don't turn Arreken around by moving your MT.
If the text says, "You think you can evade me by staying behind me? My tail will make quick work of you!", then anyone standing directly behind Arreken will be killed (rear up to 180 degrees) Anyone not on the side of him and even slightly forward will be killed.
There will be adds that will also come during the fight as well called a "a Dracurian Scorgeknight". These adds have roughly 30-40 million hp.
You must cure Impending Destruction or you will get a fail condition called "Call of Sky" and will likely kill your raid.
Joust the emotes of Arreken, cure the trauma, kill the adds...grats on loot.
1.5mil or better should be fine unless you intend to kill the adds. If then you need to be pushing at least 2million .
Anyone have a recommended DPS requirement for this fight?
Thanks for the clarification.
Correct, the adds do not trigger the fail condition. We do not kill the adds at all. We burn the named and our off tanks hold on to the adds. Detriments must all be cured.

Adds are not what triggers the fail condition but rather cures. If the mobs casts call of sky and your raid members are not free of detriment that is when you all die.
