I recorded this while experimenting and learning the solo type characteristics of Festergut for a 2-man kill we made later that night.

It was not feasible for me to actually kill Festergut solo at that time. Festergut requires at least 31,366 DPS average DPS over 5 minutes to be killed this way. As ilvl 378, my gear and spec setup that enables my pet to survive the entire fight does not appraoch this. Even if I was in a straight raid spec I can't do the amount of aggro control + pet dismissals + Call Pet required while maintaining that high of a burn for that long. 

The primary goal of this pull was to use my abilities and consumables to get the pet to survive past two complete cycles of Festergut's "Inhale" damage cycles and get to the end of the enrage timer (5 minutes). The bigger difficulty with doing this is the large amount of physical damage going onto the pet during both of the Inhale 3 periods. With any kind of normal hunter setup, Festergut kills the pet during Inhale 3.

In this pull, the first Inhale 3 was overcome by recent gear/enchant/gem/flask adjustments plus chugging an armor pot at the start of the period. The second Inhale 3 was handled as a 3 stage process - letting the pet tank the beginning, I tanked the middle using Deterrence, and the pet tanked the end. In the 2-man kill later, I did not elect to use this second procedure, instead planning for armor pot for the first Inhale 3, and a DPS/Healing burn for a potential second Inhale 3.
