Strategy
Erudax periodically casts Bind Shadows at random party members; it is a projectile-based AoE attack that should be avoided if possible; the debuff it leaves behind roots and damages players, as well as healing the boss. Enfeebling Blow will knock back the tank and place a +damage taken debuff; the tank should avoid re-engaging Erunax until the debuff has faded.
Eventually, Erudax will announce a Shadow Gale (The shadow's hunger cannot be sated!), spawning a dark swirl somewhere within his room. Party members must move to the center of the swirl to avoid Shadow Gale's AoE damage. After Shadow Gale, a Faceless Corruptor (two on Heroic difficulty) will appear at the doorway. The Corruptors cannot be stunned, but should be snared and killed before they manage to hatch any eggs. Should they finish casting Twilight Corruption, two Twilight Hatchling adds will appear and do random party damage through out the remainder of the fight; if the corruptors are not killed immediately after that, they will also heal Erudax for 20/40% of his health. This can and should be interrupted.
It is imperative that the Corruptor adds die before hatching any eggs. Consider explicitly assigning DPS to specific adds to ensure that both are snared and killed within the desired time frame. Root effects do not work, but slow effects do. Crippling poison, slow, frostbolt, frost trap, and chains of ice all are effective.
