Hard mode Thorim

What we need:

Enough DPS on Strike Team to beat the gauntlet in under 3 minutes (Logos + Cazi?)
Frost Resist aura
1 piece of FR gear (nice to have to make life easier for the healers, but may not be 100% necessary)
NR Totem/Aspect of the Wild (nice-to-have but not necessary)
A good rotation of cooldowns to use after 70 seconds or so of fighting Thorim (Shield Wall, Divine Protection, Pain Suppression, BoSac all count)
A lot of communication to start healing the second tank after Unbalancing Strike forces a taunt and tank change
Enough DPS to kill Thorim before he starts one-shotting tanks (about 100-110 seconds)
Melee to spread out KT-style to avoid chain lightning
Everyone to keep away from Lightning Draw orbs while dodging blizzard
Mass Dispel for Sif's frost nova, or plentiful cleanses (paladin tanks can cleanse when they're not actively tanking)

Sound doable?

It sounds like in order to beat the 3minute timer, we (esp. strike team) shouldn't have frost resist gear just yet. But once phase 2 start with Sif in the battle, then we may need to have frost resist gear.

I'm pretty sure we're in combat the whole time. There is a small transition moment when Thorim is engaged, but I doubt we'll be able to change gear.

From last time when I was on strike team, believe me, I wanted to re-stealth, but once that encounter is begun there is no leaving combat. (Vanish may have fixed my stealth issue, but I was never out of combat).
