If your faction stops the air elemental attack on one of your capitals, you'll be able to take a portal to the terrace in the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj-raid, where you get to fight this guy. He is the only one of the four pre-cataclysm event bosses that is completely new, the others are updated and buffed versions of vanilla instance bosses. The other bosses for this event are:

Grand Ambassador Flamelash (fire) in Blackrock Depths.
Crown Princess Theradras (earth) in Maraudon.
Kai'ju Gahz'rilla (water) in Zul'Farrak.

Oh, and in case you are wondering who this Al'Akir guy that Sarsarun is herald to is, he is the elemental lord of air (the other elemental lords are Ragnaros the Firelord, Therazane the Stonemother, and Neptulon the Tidehunter). Al'Akir is the final boss in the Throne of the Four Winds entry-level cataclysm raid.

Edit: Everything after and including "Oh".

Prince Sarsarun is located in Ahn'Qiraj, and is modelled like a cross between a standard large Air elemental and ~~Murmur from Shadow Tombs~~ - Thunderaan from the Thunderfury quest chain (edit: May as well go for the original then, cheers Atrea xD). The room before him contains trash that should be cleared to provide space. They're entitled Sarsarun Stormcaller (caster) and Sarsarun Slayer (melee). Nothing to worry about, especially with your faction leader helping out!

He has a high health pool of 1.5m HP. The overall strategy here is one of "Tank and Spank". Allow your tank to get aggro and nuke away.

Periodically, Sarsarun will cast "Cyclone" which summons, unsurprisingly, cyclones in random locations. Spreading out nullifies the risk of several members being caught in this, but it's easy to avoid.

His second ability is called "Tears of the Wind Lord" (will amend for typo), which is a 3 second AoE stun to the whole party. This generally has little impact on the encounter other than slowing your DPS for a moment and subjecting the tank to one extra, unhealed hit from the boss. If the tank is topped up this isn't an issue.

The only other ability is a Levitate that Sarsarun appears to use on the main tank every 15 seconds or so - or whoever is highest on the threat table. Once that player is thrown in the air, Sarsarun will attack the next person on the threat table. Once again, not really a problem if your healer has the tank topped up and switches quickly to the DPS targetted when the tank is in the air.

There's nothing here that's new; the only thing that can thwart you is really low-level gear running throughout the party.

Good luck!

When you are ported to the phased version of AQ for this boss, are you able to use the AQ specific mounts?

Just wondering.

A comment I thought I'd add: The cyclones do one of two things, which can make this fight a pain in the ass.

Either they'll continuously target a single person, and throw them up in the air, then keep chasing you OR, they target a different person but won't do so if the 2nd person is too far away. I've had this problem twice, usually on a healer or on my hunter, where the party will all close in on the guy or get far away when running from cyclones, and one comes after me. It will stay on me until it expires or the fight ends.

Pre-fight Dialog

Prince Sarsarun yells: Ah, our esteemed guests have arrived!
Prince Sarsarun yells: Doubtless they are incensed by my meddling with their fragile little homes.
Prince Sarsarun yells: See to it that they are made to feel MOST welcome, hmmm? After all, their bones will be lying here for a long, LONG time...

End-fight

Prince Sarsarun yells: This... is only... the beginning, mortals! You will... ALL DIE!

King Varian Wrynn says: Well done, heroes. Let us return through the very portal that witch meant to send this beast through! Much work awaits me in Stormwind.

I know its obsolete, but there's a great deal of satisfaction to be had from tanking this guy with Thunderfury

In the sense that Crown Princess Theredras is old Princess Theradras, Kai'ju Gahz'rilla is old Gahz'rilla and Grand Ambassador Flamelash is Ambassador Flamelash, this guy is the only guy that isn't exactly a directly named upgrade. Logically, and when you open your eyes and look at him, he resembles Thunderaan, but anybody that has never bothered to do that remarkably difficult to start (and complete) quest chain, and has also never used Thunderaan's model viewer, would have no idea. In conclusion... way easier to encounter the old versions of the other guys than this guy.

Actually a really annoying boss to heal... if the cyclones hit you you cant heal for a couple seconds, if you run you cant cast heals, and the AoE stun and cyclones have a nasty habit of hitting you with a one-two that can knock you out for long enough for a rogue to take some nasty damage. Also the sandals never drop.

He doesn't seem to ever aggro on ranged, like ragnaros, if there are melee in range. I was far and above the tank's threat on omen and never pulled.

The lack of any plate drops or otherwise any tank-ish stuff (druids aside) means: have fun waiting in queue as a dps for this guy.
