It does however hit hard so its worth throwing one on the Demon Chain to help kill it. Shield Slam does not dispel Demon Chain.

Usually we just have a lock seed of corruption all the little guys. I tank Kilreck in dps gear and whirlwind and cleave alot to help burn down the lil ones. I pretty much solo DPS Kilreck in reality, and thats good because it gives me Victory Rush and from there its just GG. If all the small imps are seeded I can just chain Victory Rush damn near all of them to death. So the second Kilreck drops I clear the table and then we focus on Illhoof or the chains if they pop up. The lock of the group and I are usually just about tied in damage and dps that fight, its fun :P. Victory Rush is by far one of the best abilities Blizz has ever given warriors for mass murder fights. @ Hammardin:

For awhile we had a paladin tank all the imps until they were at max spawn, and dps was always on Illhoof unless Chains/Kilreck is up. Since our paladin tank is taking a break atm, we've been using a mage in fire resist to "tank" the imps using arcane explosion. Typically a dps warrior picks up Kilreck, or the other dps just pwn his face off without needing a tank. My kara team has discovered that Illhoof is a fight that can be executed “creatively”.

I usually DPS/OT for Karazhan, and on Illhoof Whirlwind and Imp Cleave is great for getting those guys off your casters. I like to focus on the main imp and then AoE him and anyone near him down via WW and Cleave, takes some focus off of the casters and the MT. DPS Tankage FTW!
