Onyxia: quick tactics
Phase 1: Onyxia is tanked sideways so her tail swipe and cleave hit nobody. In phase 2 she flies, throws fireballs and uses Deep Breath across the cave, so move out of her path and kill the whelps quickly. In phase 3 her Bellowing Roar fears the raid.
Short summary in our own words; it does not replace a full guide.
