Our guild did this achievement last week. Empowered adds DO NOT count as 5th mob, it needs to be a "Deformed Fanatic". We had to use 2 tanks for this boss because of this, or a kiting DK.
Not really. You can simply taunt off a range dps when you lose aggro. It's pretty easy and reliable. The only problem arises when the melee dps insist on killing themselves.
I agree, that's what happened our first week in which we also lost it. We got told 'tough luck, try again next week.' You'll get it next week, and be allowed to gloat for doing a rather difficult achieve.
You need to leave the following alive: Cult Adherent, Cult Fanatic, Reanimated Adherent, Reanimated Fanatic, and a Deformed Fanatic.
The Deformed Fanatic (bubbling zombie thing) needs to be kited. I did it for our kill as a MM hunter, as you need to tanks on the boss and bringing 3 tanks/3 heals would gimp dps too much.
You don't really need two tanks on the boss. If you look closely at my video, the boss tank in the second phase can easily taunt off a range dps when they pull aggro. It works very well.

though there was probably a hotfix that made it so Empowered adds count, but that would make it easier =[. the Deformed add was a pain

You have to use 2 tanks anyway to taunt off of each other in phase 2...

Yeah. We figure that might be the problem, but we still think it's bullshit, since clearly the Empowered Adherent is a unique mob.

Sorry, the kill video is /watch?v=5wFyFeMqSME now. It's edited and has some nice music :).

Ah yes, but if you've got a melee high on threat they would get instagibbed, in our case it was a rogue who would get smacked instantly.
