Mar'li' Abilities
Mar'li has several abilities that he uses in the fight. They are as follows:
Spider Summon: At the beginning of the fight Mar'Li will summon 4 spiders that will "grow" the longer they are alive. These spiders start at about 500-600 damage a hit but once fully grown and enraged, they can deal 1800 per hit! After the first 4, Mar'li will sporadically summon spiders as the fight continues.
Web: When Mar'li turns into her spider form (about 90% health), she will drop down a web attack that immobilizes all those effected, allowing her to break agro and attack other party members.
Silence: Mar'li unleashes an AoE silence when she transforms into her spider form. Stay away from her at this point or you will be unable to cast for about 5 seconds.
Life Leech: Mar'li heals herself through a dispellable life drain. This attack heals herself quite quickly and needs to be dispelled ASAP.
AOE Poison: This is a very nasty AOE poison effect that does 400-600 dps. You need to dispell it ASAP. Everyone in the group should have bandages handy, as the healers first prority is the 2 tanks.
Strategy
You will need at least two tanks for this fight, as one needs to stick on Mar'li and another needs to be pitted against any of the spider spawns that pop up during the fight. The group should start scattered and then slowly move in once Mar'li transforms into her spider form.
The initial burst of 4 spider adds need to be pulled by a mage and then rooted with a frost nova. This will give ample time to AoE the spiders into dust while the main tank gets agro from Mar'li.
For the first 10% of health, the raid should just be dropping minimal DPS and conserving mana. Once Mar'li makes the shift into spider form, she needs to be tanked immediately to get agro (as the transformation will break it). Immediately after the transformation, Mar'Li will web those in range and they will disappear from her agro list. You will need your second tank to pickup agro from her at this point as she will go to the highest person not webbed. Continue to "flip-flop" tanks as needed for the remainder of the fight.
At about 40-30% health, Mar'li will shift back into troll form and use her life leech ability to regain health. Be sure to dispel this ASAP or she will become undefeatable and the group will wipe.
This is by no means an "easy" fight, and it may take a few tries to get her down. However the Mar'li battle is mainly add control (much like a Firelord in Molten Core) and if that is mastered, the rest of the battle will come.
