Right, this is the 3rd (unlisted) boss in the Blackwing Descent.
I will quickly get you through the 3 phases by pictures i made and will give tips and tricks on certain situations.

Heights have always been lethal to us, think of Serpentshrine cavern and Icecrown Citadel.
Both Elevators claimed several casualties, if not maybe more than other bosses.
I written this guide so that u may now realize what's at stake at the newest elevator boss, and how to tackle it's problems.

The boss:
It has no hitbox, it has no enrage timer, it can 1hit you, it has no healthbar.

The elevator is a deceiving bastard, whenever you find yourself thinking "surely I'll make it right in time", you better stop on your tracks asap, because it's just about to kill you.

We wiped a ton on this boss last night, but a warlock glitched himself to the bottom, and then we made our 2 paladins bubble and jump down to the warlock, so he could summon the rest of the raid

@op

true story, alot of CDs can save your sorry, in fire standing ass tho. warriors can HL/intervene at the very last moment, mages can block, blink (not slow fall tho or you'll die in lava or pull nefa) lolladins can bubble etc etc.

on a srs note tho, last night we didnt have a single wipe recovery that the elevator did not claim atleast one life.

The elevator, it decieves healers into thinking it is safe to move in and rez the fallen, then it descends and crushes the innocent healers in their 10 second casting time, /mourn

an extra note: The elevator Sees through all forms of stealth, be wary, as it as a deadly foe

Do NOT use slowfall/levitate/parachute when you missed the elevator. It will result in a painful death at the end of the lava pit and a lot of laughing on vent at your expense.

It is even worse when attempting nef, aggroing onyxia pretty much kills everyone, even if they are outside the combat area. So failing to click off slow fall/levitate will wipe you.
