After the 4.0.1 patch released, the talent hawk eye was no more. The range of hunter shots have been increased, but it's just not enough to stay out of range of some of the boss spells (like this one with pyroblast). So what you want to do is down him as fast as possible. With the new mend pet (healing 25% health of your pet) and the new mending glyph (extra 3% healing per tick), mend pet heals 40% pet health over its duration. Also, because armor penetration has been removed, most hunter gear has a huge amount of extra stamina. In other words, you won't have any problems keeping your pet up with mend pet and the T5 bonus. You actually heal enough for your pet to attack the boss instead of tanking one of his adds, because he lives through the debuff. A turtle for his special ability turtle shield and cower are advised skills though. Because you get hit by pyroblast in patch 4.0.1 all the time, you want to dps the boss as much as possible. But even with not very good gear it should be doable. Just go all out on the boss, including your pet. Just adding a little guide here for the people who want to solo him on 4.0.1.

Stayed at max range and had no trouble staying alive. I burned the first two adds quickly and my pet had no trouble either. My gear level is around 232, with two pieces of pvp gear (helm and boots gemmed for stamina) and the tier 5 shoulders and gloves. I did not use the "max health" build, but instead used a slightly modified standard build (two points in improved mend pet, 3 points in hawkeye). This build has worked fantastically for me. Pet is at 28.3k health, and I can burn things down a LOT faster than the max health build, which I have not needed for the first 6 bosses (and maybe more...I'm about to attempt the last 3). Here's the build I used to defeat to defeat the first 6 bosses, including Gehennas: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#cVbhzggRwuheot0ecoZc:VciM0z I got this on my first attempt using the strat described here.

It’s “Gehennas”, with an “a” :)

The healing reduction by 75% is a minus, and as Undra mentioned, I don't think it is soloable except among the ultra-elite WHU people. I bid you luck and hope your attempts go better than mine...

His shadowbolt range is indeed 40 yards and the debuff is 75%, but with 3 points in hawkeye that gives you the narrowest of one single yard to stay out of range of his bolts and still in range to heal your pet. So, needless to say, positioning is crucial. I may have spoken too soon and in frustration.

His healing debuff is 75% and his shadowbolt range is over 40 yards and won't target his tank if there's another option. With the increased debuff, mend pet can't tred water with another add up, and with the range increase you're just going to get pounded by the 2500 shadowbolts. I hate to say it, but I don't think this guy is solable anymore. Blizzard changed the encounter somewhere between August ’09 and February ’10.
