I began my attempts from the lonely floating rock and he evaded everytime, this accounted for 6 deaths. So I ran off to go to repair at the vendor near the new tree thing and got my self dead again from Kirix as he poisoned and stunned me as I ran through the furnace area. So I was unable to recover my corpse for some reason and had to rez at the graveyard.
By now I figured I had missed out, but to my surprise everyone else was dieing still as well or had given up except one alliance hunter who was cheering me on (or laughing at my feeble attempts, can't really be sure). So my strategy was using Aspect of the Wild, Kings, haste food, Ancient Hysteria and dismiss, then macro for Potion of Speed, deterrence, and then tame pet. I abandoned the rock idea and decided to try the disengage technique I found on you tube.
So I tried again and everything seemed to be working but I died right before the tame finished. I couldn't figure out why this wasn't working so I rechecked my hastily put together macros and I found my total idiotic mistake... the macro read: /ue potion of speed, /cast deterence, /cast tame beast. I had mispelled /use and that was the difference. On the 9th attempt I tamed Kirix. I want to say thanks to Safarigroo on Icecrown for helping me out and encouraging me and I'm sure even laughing a bit at my blundered attempts!!!
