Strategy
Success in this zone depends greatly on the raid's ability to withstand three things: fear, stun, and cocoons.
Clearing the entire zone before attempting the final mob should be the first goal. All skeletons will fear, so crouching and walking while fighting the skeletons will minimize the impact of this when it happens.
Once all trash is cleared, attack Tairiza the Widow Mistress. Whenever a pet or PC dies during this fight, Tairiza is healed. This includes swarm pets.
Tairiza will cocoon PCs randomly. The distance from her and position in the hate list seem to be irrelevant. When cocooned the PC will not be able to cast, attack or move. However, mana stone and hearts and shards still work. The cocoons have to be destroyed to free the PC. One strategy is to make all ranged DPS assist through someone who targets the cocoons when they occur and switches to the boss when the cocoon is destroyed. It may also be helpful to clump all ranged DPS together to allow blue AEing of the cocoons. I believe only one cocoon is up at any given time. Best to have a person with a target macro (/target a digestive sac) to clear the sacs quickly.
At a certain health percentage (40%), Tairiza spawns several adds that are mezzable. This can eventually become 10's of adds (20,30 or more).
