If you do this, he can pretty easily handle the first phase around the forge, without triggering anvils. I made sure he and the Blacksmith appeared in my raid frames (Grid+Clique), which made their status easy to see, and greatly simplified casting heals on them. I Beaconed myself.

It's much harder/impossible to do this when restarting the final phase after a wipe. This is one of the reasons I get frustrated and quit - second and subsequent tries are at a big disadvantage.

My buddy had a hell of a time pre-nerf with his pally.  He's 
tank/heals....He tried both and said tank spec was a lost cause.  He 
made it through after 50+ wipes as heals...

Oh - btw to all working on this...Keep in mind that you don't actually 
have to get him to 0% health...the fight stops at about 8%, when 
wraithon (who has been playing around at the forge during your fight) 
chimes in and says more or less that the lance is ready.  This was the 
part of the fight that reaaaally pissed me off on my last wipe as I had 
gotten him there and could not find the lance and click it in time, and 
died.  Got him the next attempt.....

...at around 10% be ready for wraithon to say the lance is ready.  Look 
for it when he says it is, because you will have to click on it (will 
have gear symbol when you mouse hover over it).  When you click it, 
fights over as the forged lance kills the boss....

When I downed him, the lance was finally ready and he was only a few 
seconds from casting insanity, and I was out of anvils....made it 
through with the skin of my teeth back then....
