There are 2 different type of adds, 1 is scarab swarm and is probably rather harmless. Other I do not recall what are called, but they need to be tanked on top of a permafrost, else when they reach, I think it is 20% hp, they will burrow underground and regen their hp to full, un-burrow and attack again. By tanking them on the permafrost you prevent them from burrowing making them killable.
...until he reaches 30% or 20% at which point he starts channeling Leeching Swarm. Leeching swarm will damage everyone in the raid for 20% of their max hp every second until they reach 20% of their max hp at which time the spell stops doing damage to them. He continues to channel the spell until he dies. There is no way to interrupt or silence the channel. Anub'arak will be healed for all the damage he does with Leeching Swarm. At this point no one except the tanks should be healed since it merely results in anub'arak healing himself. Handle adds and burn down the last 20% and the boss dies.
The main issue with the larger adds (not the scarabs) is tanking on the permafrost. You don't want the first two to burrow, or once they heal and the second groups spawns you will have 4. They also buff each other similar to Auriya's cats. You don't want four of them at once.
Leeching swarm starts at 30% I think, and it does 10% of your current health each tick but there is no point where it stop dealing damage to you. The raid needs to be healed -some-. We tried to keep them around 40% last night, and we one shot him.
