Strategy

Maalus Reborn - Cure the Curse of Greater Devastation, kill the x2

Gozak - kill him before he gets buffed. Cure the curse or someone will get ported to the front of the zone (Which sucks if you are soloing (which I am, on a lvl 100 bruiser in craptastic gear, when writing this). Your merc gets ported too and can't run back in time to stop a reset of the fight)

If you wipe out after this fight, you don't have to fight the first two again (until the instance resets, I assume).

Byzola - casts a debuff where you basically can't stop hitting yourself, so stop hitting and you'll be fine. (And yes, I was saying "stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself" in my head) The other debuff knocks you back and powerdrains. Some adds, a fear spell

Byzola drops something called "Crystallized Shard of Hate" only priests and mages can use, and you need the shards for the Lichlord, making this impossible to solo, so the rest I'm finding online.

Lichlord Skulldugger - When he says “Your fighter taunts will hinder me no more!”, use the "Crystallized Shard of Hate". Apparently three people need to use the shards at the same time or it doesn't dispel. I wound up backing as far away from my merc as possible and just button mashing until RNGsus saw fit to not have the mob cast the spell till I died., honestly. Finally killed it. Didn't get my house, but at least I know I can do it on my neglected lil bruiser. ^_^ Now to see if I have other toons that can make it.

Feel free to correct or add anything I didn't find out while attempting to solo an old raid for a Kromzek house. Even subtract my blathering. ^_^ I never did the actual raid, and when I do group, it all goes so fast I never see/hear (read) the mechanics. I prefer to enjoy the game, smell the roses, watch the butterflies, etc... And lots of decorating!
