Dire Maul
Three wings: East, West and North. Ogres, demons, and the famous tribute run.
East is the shortest. West has Immol'thar's pylons. North is the ogres and the tribute run, where you leave the guards alive to win King Gordok's chest.
Get ready

What's different in Forever
Same fights as Classic
In WoW Forever the bosses here keep their Classic levels and abilities. The loot has been reworked: many drops have new Forever stats, so read the tooltip.
Quest XP
Dungeon quests below level 40 pay extra XP in Forever (the 1 October build halved the bonus, but it's still there). From level 40 on, most pay their Classic XP.
Mob XP
Dungeon mobs give about a third of their Classic XP. If anyone in the group is far above the mobs' level, nobody gets XP for those kills.
Group Finder
It's a listing board, not a queue, and meeting stones don't summon. A Warlock and two others can cast Ritual of Summoning at the stone.
