Encounter Details

Valithria Dreamwalker
Health: 30m (25) / 10m (10)	Other: ??
Valithria starts at 50% health and the objective is for players to heal her to full. This is accomplished through player heal spells. While you do this adds spawn and rush you to try and stop you from healing her / damage her. The adds spawn progressively faster as the fight goes on, so it's important to have a good mix of DPS to keep the adds down, as well as healers to heal Valithria.   Please note that the abilities listed under Valithria aren't necessarily cast by her. They simply don't have an NPC they're associated with and occur during the encounter.
Abilities
Column of Frost Marks the location under a random player target. After 2 seconds a column of frost errupts from this location, dealing 9425 to 10575 Frost damage to all enemies within 3 yards, knocking them into the air.
Dream Slip Valithria uses this to leave Icecrown after you save her.
Dreamwalker's Rage Deals 10000000 Nature damage in a 50000 yard radius. Valithria casts this once you've healed her to full. Does not deal damage to players. This means you won! Pat your healers on the back.
