Deconstructor is RIDICULOUS.

90k raid dps and we hit the enrage timer at 10% repeatedly.
Burning the heart as much as we can for extra boss damage and minimizing scrapbot heals, of course.
At least it's not Ignus, oneshotting anyone he slag pots (which is supposedly fixed... yet he keeps doing it) and killing any tank who isn't currently under a cooldown at any point during the fight with his 40k mitigated hits.

No, we're not killing the heart. Just damaging it.
He takes damage from what you do to the heart during the heart phase. KILLING the heart activates hard mode. Which, as far as we can tell, requires full Ulduar gear just to be able to ACTIVATE the hard mode, let alone beat it.
Our raid dps is sitting around 90k and we're hitting the enrage timer at 10%. I just don't get it?

Killing the Heart is hard mode, not damaging is begging to wipe.
The boss takes double dmg equal to what you do to the heart, so you dps the heart down to 10% each add phase - the heart will reset to full between add phases.

Tell your DPS to stop padding thier stats by AOEing trash and assist on the boss kill?
Believe what you'd like, but most of our DPS is melee and elemental shaman. What AoE?
We have one warlock, one hunter, one boomkin, and one mage. Just enough AoE to kill the scrapbots and not much more.
I can check recount on our next attempt, but >90% of the raid dps is on the boss.
Isn't the enrage supposed to be 8 minutes though? It was 6 for us.

We hit the enrage 3 times with boss at 20% left because someone said "Don't touch the heart when it comes out, that activates hard mode." Finally someone came back and said we were supposed to burn the heart but not kill it. So on that attempt we got to 1%, DPS got their heads stuck in their rears and didn't down the scrapbots, so the boss healed and enraged. Next attempt after that though everything went smooth and downed no problem.
So, all I can say is to burn the heart with everything you have, ignoring the adds (except for the OT picking up Pummelers).

Here's a link to a video of our kill. Nice, HighQuality available.

I'm the OT running around with all the Pummellers on me. It's a good video showing how we did it. Everyone in a line out from the boss. When you get bombed you run to the left or the right out of range. OT picks up Pummellers and ranged AoE burns down the Scrapbots when they get close.
The two achievements that pop are
Heroic: Nerf Engineering
and
Heroic: Nerf Gravity Bombs

We finally got him down today after 3 hours of wiping, went and three-shotted iron council afterwards.
As far as I can tell the entire fight with deconstructor hinges on "did bomb bots spawn with the scrapbots?" and "did he light/gravity bomb someone during tantrum? because if so, they are dead"
Very frustrating.

Wait a minute.
Your complaining that your wiping at 10% on the 4th boss of an instance which has only been out 2days?
think about it....
This. Thanks :)

Lawl, not so much QQ about "how hard it was" or that we weren't downing the 4th boss immediately, and more confusion at what seems to be THE gear check boss for Ulduar... being insanely hard to beat the enrage timer in full Naxx 25 gear with skilled DPS.
Clearly, Blizzard has outdone themselves, because the gear check this time around is ALSO a coordination check.
It's a good fight, just caught me by surprise after the joke difficulty of Razorscale.
I wish Ulduar was consistently that hard, instead of having bizarre difficulty spikes. Why is Iron Council so much easier? Just seems odd.
