Ugh,
Had two serious runs at our new friends, Emalon and the Quartet of Overcharged Doom Friday and Sunday night. The best/closest attempt was on Friday when we got Emalon down to about 25% until our healers were OOM... Sunday, only gave him a bit of a scare as he never really went under 40% after several (or more) attempts. (I think I've paid about 250G in repair bills between the two...)
So what did we learn? Initial Tank aggro is critical to the opening stage of this fight. There is really no OT in my opinion as both tanks have a crucial role. Tank #1 (first to run in) pulls all initial aggro of Emalon and his four Storm Revenants. Once that Tank has built up sufficient rage or mana, he can AoE the group establishing initial threat. At that point (5-7 seconds later) Tank #2 runs in and taunts Emalon off Tank #1. It's very important that Tank #1 goes in buffed with extra heals but as soon as the tank moves into range of the boss and adds no one casts a hot, DPS's, taunts, etc. Tank #1 must first establish aggro on the four Storm Revenants and Emalon. After that is completed, Tank #2 comes in and taunts Emalon off. Emalon needs to be tanked 20+ yards away from the Storm Revenants and the current strat is tanking Emalon to his left side of the room. The Revenants are tanked to their right back (again as we face the room).
After 60 seconds or so Emalon casts Overcharge on one of the four Storm Revenants. DBM is "supposed" to mark that Revenant with a Skull, but that seems to work only about 50% of the time. The Revenant will be healed to full health (pressing "V" before the fight allows you to view all the enemy's health bars) and the Revenant will dramatically grow in size. The Overcharge will stack up to 10X and the raid has 24 seconds to DPS down the Overcharged Revenant before it wipes the raid dealing 30K damage.
Once the Overcharged Revenant is down, Emalon will call forth a new add from behind/underneath him. Tank #1's job is to taunt the new add and tank him with the remaining three. After 30 seconds or so, the cycle will repeat itself, etc.
A few things to consider and "requirements" for the fight:

A few things to consider and "requirements" for the fight:
- Emalon is an Ulduar Level boss as he drops iLvl 219 Tier gear. He and his friends hit quite hard. Being Naxx geared is a necessity.
- Tanks & Healers - Naxx 10/25, OS10/25 Gear required. 2 x Tanks & 3 Healers optimal.
- DPS - again Naxx geared or at least capable of sustained 2K DPS throughout the fight.
- Emalon will always keep four Storm Revenant adds up. During the fight adds (excluding the overcharged one) may/will die. Emalon will summon a replacement. Tank #1's job is to taunt all Storm Revenant adds.
- Emalon casts Lightning Nova and Chain Lightning. Melee needs to run out of the Lightning Nova and people need 5 yards of separation to not be caught in the Chain Lightning. (Ranged/Healers can be positioned far enough back to not be in range of the Lightning Nova.)
- Five Overcharge cycles should be enough time to DPS the boss down good & dead. I don't think we got past three cycles either night.
