Quotes

"Keep an eye on those White Hand Orcs... I smell a rat in our midst." (Beginning of 10-minute challenge mode timer)

"Watch the White-hand closely, my Devoted... I see mutiny in their eyes." (Five-minute warning for challenge mode)

"We are betrayed!" (Indicates failure to activate Challenge Mode)

"Glothrok is fallen. Take his tribute to the master of Moria" (After defeating Glothrok the Vile)

"The Beast falls. Deliver its tribute to Mazog, the master of Moria." (After defeating The Beast)

"Goblins! Gothgaash is slain. Take his tribute to Mazog. The Ghâsh-hai pay their due." (After defeating Gothghaash the Firecaller)

"What fools stand here before me?" (When starting the boss encounter)

"You have no place here in Moria. I will splatter your guts on the floors and colour my boots with your blood!"

"For their tribute, I shall draw their strength and paint the walls with your innards! Die!"

"Spinning Blades to carve your hide!"

"Your insurrection ends on my blades!"

"Suffer the wrath of darkness!"

"Stop that infernal strumming!"

"Let the Darkness crush you!" (Stun + shadow damage attack)

"That was a glorious battle..." (When defeated)

Tactics

When doing Grand Stair in normal mode, Igash is a typical tank-n-spank boss, but to complete Challenge: Igash (Daily) for additional rewards you will need slightly more advanced tactics.

Challenge: Igash (Daily)

To activate challenge Mode, you must engage Nardur the Shield within 10 minutes of starting the first encounter in the instance. You must also not kill any boss mobs besides Nardur and Ilzkâl the Pummeler. If you have properly activated challenge Mode, when you confront Igash, The Devoted appears from darkness and starts to attack whichever player is near it. The Devoted can be tanked but he changes his target every once in a while. The Devoted summons Gazathrug Lurkers which aid him in battle. If you kill the adds, they just come back so don't bother. The lurkers can't be crowd controlled while they are near the Devoted, so it's best to keep them away from the Devoted at all costs. If you kill the Devoted, Challenge Mode fails. Igash aggroes someone, and doesn't easily let go because of Steeled Mind which prevents snap taunts. As he hits hard (around -800 per hit) it's best to move around the throne room when he calls out a special attack. He throws fire on the ground when he says: "The Fire swells for you, <player name>" and he has an AoE attack which stuns all around called 'Crushing Darkness', which deals around 1.5k damage on each player nearby.
