That's basically the tactic I used, except I'd take add number 4 to
another room, usually the warlock-boss's room (forget her name). Takes
a while, especially as I never remember to pick up a pvp trinket so
the disorientate is annoying! Also I've learned through experience
that the caster can knockback you through a wall... fortunately you
land in A'lar's room but it kinda messes up the strategy a bit, since
you've got the wrong mobs to handle!

I also tend to equip the legendary staff (with using it macroed to a
few abilities); doesn't appear to help much against the adds but I
*think* it makes a difference against Kael himself. Doesn't help my
dps any, though!
