Seems this boss is very hard for healers, but the tactics are pretty forward. He is like Kologarn and can't move around the room and has a frontal AoE so the MT has to tank him towards one side of the room while the Melee stand on the other side. Ranged/Healers spread out in the middle.
There will be an attack that looks like Meteors and the likes that will spawn small adds that the offtank needs to pick up and then killed, since they stun people when they jump onto them and dealing a high DoT damage.
Lava Spew is a full raid attack that boss uses and will hit for very high damage on the raid, so healers need to be ready when it happens.
He also puts a fire up on half the room which would mean that anyone in that half needs to get to the other side to avoid to much damage.
The key part to this fight is however when Magmaw leans forward onto the floor which will allow three people to jump onto him and then use an ability to put a chain on him that will then pull him down onto a spike infront of him dealing massive damageand stop him from doing any sort of damage. This is when you DPS him the most.
Each of the attack mentioned above will go in a cycle. So once Magmaw has been impaled he will start over again until he leans forward to be impaled again.
