Strategy:
Split the raid into two, with half the healers and tanks on each side and the DPS classes split between the living and undead sides. Shoot something at Gothik. Trainers get instagibbed sothey don’t need tanked. Death Knights are not terribly dangerous but do have to be tanked. Riders are very dangerous and should be killed FIRST.
The main trick to this encounter is pacing living side DPS such that you do not kill so fast the Undead side is overwhelmed, remember that Riders will spawn both a Rider and a Horse on the undead side when killed. Do not kill a second rider until the undead side is finished with the first one. Should you be overwhelmed Death Knights and Trainees are CC-able. So just talk back and forth and control how many mobs are killed, we usually just stack heavier DPS and a Ret or Prot pally on the dead side. For phase 2, he will port between live and dead side, After a couple of side changes the middle gate opens, just heal Shadowbolt and kill Gothik.
