This was recorded on Jan 21, 2014 (Patch: NW.10.20140107a.8). Meaning it was done with the fix of HR CD bug; as you will see on this video.

Enjoy!
The party compostion was with 2x CW (Ashema & Shaz) and myself (Nightxiwngz).
The fight was attempted with no Buffs for a bit of challenge.
I took off my perfect soulforge and replaced it with normal SF and took off my radiants 8/10 and replaced it with radiants 7/8. I normally have 8700+ power, but on this fight I only had 8100+. (I have two sets of gear PvE and PvP. I placed all my radiants 8/10 and perfect SF on my PvP gear and use radiants 7/8 on PvE gear.)
I am a glasscannon HR and only had to use 1 potion in this fight only because the other 2 CW concentrated more on CCing/Debuffing than DPS HAMSTER (No Sudden Storm Tab). While I concentrate on staying alive and DPSing Draco.
Unfortunately, there's no other PoV of this fight. The other 2 CW are very skilled and humble players which is why they didn't record their fight. They just love playing the game and challenging themselves.
Prior to the draco fight:
I did not record/upload the whole clearing process because we did not 3 man the clearing process; there was a 4th person with us. I looted a lot of nodes while my group was clearing. I also died at 1st boss because I initiated the fight and pretty much had to run back. After 3rd boss, we skipped 70% of the adds and just died at the door. So please just keep comments on the Draco fight.
I posted this video to show that you don't need 3 CW to do this; you only need 2 very experienced CW.
Strategy Hunter Ranger
I don't advise a Hunter Ranger glasscannon to do this until you get the last boon from Dread Ring [Endless Consumption]. Also, you need to get use to dodging as a Hunter Ranger. Once you see a red circle, wait 2 seconds and dash at the last milliseconds (this all depends on latency or what not). Once you get the timing right you won't have to waste 2-3 dashes to avoid red circles.
Skills - make sure to use Rain of Arrows and Thorn Ward. This is our best single target/debuff skills. Its more advisable to use it while the CW use sing and bring all the mobs in the middle. But the goal here is to DPS draco so use those skills when it's up. If the CW used their sings and RoA/TW isn't up, you can use Thorn Strike or Rain of Swords to do an AoE bleed. Another option is to use Split Shot but there's a good chance you might grab more aggro from a freshly spawned mob. If you accidentally concentrated your Split Shot on a Wight; he might lunge on a CW target making your split shot miss Draco. Using encounters gives you more AP gain which will help with Forest Ghost usage in order to lose aggro. Always use Fox cunning when hands or wings are up or if you see one of your CW behind Draco.
Positioning - As the one tanking Draco, you need to constantly stay at melee range to avoid more spawning of Wights. Make sure to cast your slow casting skill while Draco is in the middle of casting his attacks. Keep track of the 2 CW or any group members in your party and always have Draco facing them while they do their shard or CC's. Only start circling around Draco while he's doing his attack to lessen tail whip.
Control Wizard Strategy
I haven't played a CW, so I'm not very knowledgeable with that class. I will add more info later on once I talk to the other members on the video.
The skills you should use are Conduit of Ice (tabbed), Ray of Enfeeblement, Steal Time, and Shard. Concentrate more on CC and debuffing the boss vs. DPSing the adds with Sudden Storm. Usually a lot of CW's use Icy Terrain and Sudden Storm which is good DPS against adds but prolongs the Draco fight. DPSing/Debuffing Draco is the key for shorter fight. Debuffing is the way to go but its a lot harder.
Using Singularity - Always keep Draco in the center and sing as close to Draco as possible but still to get at least 1 Red Wizard. DPS needs to be maximized at Draco, so you CC/DPS adds by while maximizing DPS on Draco.
Positioning - Everyone needs to stay at the center while circling Draco. This will avoid any mobs being spread out.

In all seriousness, I knew this was coming, good job. Just waiting for the GWF and TR ones now.
This video mainly highlights that any extra 3rd class can do it, if you have 2 experienced CW.
I would love to see a Draco video clear w/o any CW tho.

I'm pretty sure a 3 GWF party could manage it. Open challenge!
