Boss Level: 
50

Attacks:
Melee
Earthquake
Knockback

Strategy:
Another fairly easy boss.  He hits decently hard, but a well geared 50 won't have any problems with the damage.  The only thing to watch for is his phase change.  There will be red text splash on the screen to indicate that Gargath is focused narrowly or widely.

When he is "spreading his focus outward" he will place small earthquakes beneath random party members.  These will be indicated by red circles on the ground.  Players should move out of these circles ASAP.  The tank will need to pull Gargath out of any circles that appear beneath him to let melee DPS continue to attack during this phase.

After a short time Gargath will narrow his focus again and no more earthquakes will pop up for a while.  As long as you have enough DPS and your healer can keep the tank up the rest of the fight goes very smoothly.
