If you're looking for a Karazhan Guide and Walkthrough for The Curator, you've found the best on the internet.
The Curator is the first of two bosses in Karazhan that drop T4 gear. He is not an optional boss.. He can give raids a bit of trouble, but remember that practice makes perfect.
Ideal Group Composition:
1 Main Tank
3 Healers
6 Good DPS
Most of your raid will probably be in at least 5-6 epics if not more before you can consistently kill The Curator. Your DPS needs to be strong as you need to be able to kill the Arcane Flares he summons within 10 seconds or you will get overwhelmed by them.
NOTE: Be extremely careful when you first go in to The Curator's hall because he has a very large aggro radius.
The positioning for this fight is fairly straightforward. Line up all your ranged DPS and healers against the wall in The Curator's room. They should all be spread apart roughly in a semi-circle. The tank will then pull the Curator about 30 yards away from the ranged DPS in the middle of the hall.
For most of the fight The Curator summons Astral Flares to attack the raid at a rate of one every 10 seconds. All DPS needs to attack these for most of the fight. Whenever there is a flare, DPS needs to be attacking the flare.
Periodically, The Curator will turn blue and use Evocation to restore his mana. While he is blue he doesn't attack anyone and takes 200% damage. He does this for 20 seconds, then goes back to shooting Astral Flares again. When he is Evocating is when your DPS will attack him. DPS must also remember to stay on Astral Flares until the last one is dead, even when he Evocates. For this reason we usually just assign two specific DPS to take care of the last Flare when he Evocates, this way the rest of the DPS is free to switch over immediately.
He goes back and forth between shooting Astral Flares and Evocating for nearly the whole fight. You just need to continue killing Flares and then attacking him when he's Evocating until he gets down to 15%. Before that, though...
The Curator also uses something called Hateful Bolt, which does 5-6k arcane damage to whoever is second on threat. For this reason, we usually have one DPS member with a lot of health stay second in threat and just eat the Hateful Bolts. You can also use an off-tank instead, though we found this slowed our DPS down too much in this DPS race. He enrages and will kill the raid after 10 minutes so DPS is very important in this fight.
Once you get him to 15%, the Curator hits harder, stops Evocating and stops shooting Astral Flares. At this point, all there is left to do is DPS him down. Pop cooldowns and keep all heals on the main tank and Hateful Bolt tank. Once you get him down to 15%, you should be able to kill him unless you hit the enrage timer.
If you are having problems with The Curator, remember that most of the problems you have with him can only be solved by leaving and coming back with better gear, better raid specs, better consumables or some combination of the three. The Curator was the first boss in Karazhan that most of our raid needed to use flasks before we were able to down him. Bad DPS cannot and should not be tolerated - while Subtlety rogues may be fine in 5-mans, they're horrible raid DPS for example. Of course, you could always go PvP for a day or two and come back with a few extra epics, it can make a world of difference.
