what I really want to know is if Pre 3.09 that CoT was even castable
on the H.AN boss

I've never actually run warlocks into this fight so never had the
chance to attempt that

it seems more like if it is possible it would be a breach of Game
Mechanics once again

which would be a reason to nerf bat it as it would make the game
fairly easy which is something Blizzard never allows but would rather
you worked for it to get it

So if this is live (which it is because it reads 3.09 when you log in)
then this is another game mechanic that was swapped out

similar to the Helgan the Unclean Safety Dance glitch you could do by
hiding in the wall at the far left to avoid any of the Lava Bursts

"A Warlock is also recommended for a couple of reasons. CoT (or some
type of casting-slow) is very helpful and may even be required at this
point. In addition, you CAN cast dots on the boss after he "wipes"
them, but before he submerges. We've often seen him submerge at 53
only to come up at 45% when everyone applied their dots perfectly. You
generally have enough time to get about 2 on him."
"...,1 Rogue (For Mindnumbing poison),..."

"we just flat out dps him down reaching 33% before first down phase,
when he came up just full burst him down to 0."

"The real trick is to get him to >50% before he burrows on the first
time, a good way to do that is to use a Casting Time Debuff like Mind-
Numbing or Curse of Tongues to make Anub'arak casts bigger and give
some more time to dps him while he casts and pray to him to start a
cast just before 76% and 26% :). Dont forget to use Flasks, food buffs
and everything you can to do a better dps!"

"Your Warlock should have COTounges on him to slow down his cast (this
is very important). He should go under at 50% ish. Then have everyone
group up and and Single target burn down the elites and also pick off
the mini adds if any escape from Death and Decay. You will get 2 waves
if done right (the 75% and the 50% waves)."

"Tip 2: "The essentials" should be used.

And that would be a Warlock's Curse of Tongues and a Rogue's Mind-
Numbing Poison. With a Shaman's Bloodlust after his first burrow you
should have him down with plenty of time to spare."
