5	Any Level 1+ Pet	Alexstrasza	Instead of Mini Thor you can also use Clockwork Gnome or Lil Bling, Whichever has the highest HP to ensure you can get your moves off, though it was tested with lil Bling which for me had 1400 HP.

8	Any Level 1+ Pet	Kurasu#2861	While the XP from this battle is low, it can bump a level 1 up to level 4 with a hat on, and that little 'bump' can be good for surviving other leveling fights. If you don't want to level a pet, of course, you can just ignore and put anything in the last place. This was mostly made to answer a friend's request for 'two person groups for everybody'.	Level 1+	2	3.7	4	61 1:01	6-7
9	Any Level 1+ Pet	Araldwenn	This strat won't give much XP but can bump a lvl 1 pet to lvl 4+. There's also a very little bit of RNG. Some rare times you may fail to kill Gorespine with Explode, and some other rare times, you may kill it before explode and your leveling pet won't get any XP. But this strategy should work 95%+ of the time	Level 1+ TD Script	2	2.0	1	60 1:00	6+

I'm not sure what has changed, but after Howl/Surge of Power, Gorespine is left with 81 HP's. This happened several times in a row. Luckily, I had a third pet which could damage past Gorespine's shield and finish him off. (edited)

Same, my random blue level 25 couldn't even finish the last 81 HP. Third pet should probably be a pet that counters Gorespine (damage reduction)

Used a lvl pet in 3rd slot & brought it in immediately after Gnome goes down. Swap with Chrom and continue script.

Strategy works perfectly in SL prepatch (9.0.2), thanks a lot.
I didn't try the td script. (edited)

For those like me who still don't own Clockwork Gnome here is very reliable alternative strategy (8.1.5 patch):

Iron Starlette (P/S), Zandalari Anklerender (P/S), Forest Moth (this pet is not needed but you can use it for some of the other fights)

Turn 1- Wind-Up

Swap to your Zandalari Anklerender.

Turn 1- Black Claw
Turn 2- Hunting Party

Bring back your Iron Starlette.

Turn 1- Wind-Up

Using TD script suggested, first two pets died leaving Gorespine at 18HP. Third pet finished the job.

Ive tried this several times and works reasonably well only issue usually is the clockwork gnome does not seem to get to his metal fist. But otherwise works really well, i always take in a backup usually ancient nest guardian. Because occasionally he gets more crit hits than normal. Doing gr8 job guys with these.
