Hm. But how to stack it to 99? :/
very nice find. i would +rep but im out for today. Ill give you some tomorrow.
Its how it works: Every time you get hit, they enemy takes anoter stack. If they hit you 99 times, they will hit the cap, and take 135,000,000 damage. They usually die before that though =)
Also works if you go to a BG, run into the middle at the start, then just get attacked and get a bunch of killing blows =)
Note: Also, if you can get hit just a few times in Iceblock, then freeze them in place or just blink away, it deals the damage (450x2000x10=9,000,000 per tick) just keep them at a distance, the debuff stays for 24 seconds and ticks every 3, which will make ICC soloable (since it still applies the debuffs even if when you get hit, you're immune to the damage).
Finally a HUGE exploit.
+2 Rep because that's all I can give but you deserve it!
+3, you deserve far more. Good man.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Just did extensive testing on this. There are very big obsticles in order to make this worth the hassle though. The first being --- how to keep a mage alive while getting attacked by a raid boss. The boss must attack the mage in order to get a stack of the debuff. Second --- the buff only lasts 2 mins, how to effectively place the mage in front of a raid boss within a short amount of time (less than 30 secs) to make use of the buff worth it.
It's very neat, but I don't think it's very possible to make full worthy of this.
Also, the damage done isn't multiplying like the OP says. I got a stack of 5 on an elite mob in the dungeon, and it was only ticking for 14k. I have about 2000 SP.
I think I found the correct math application though. Each time it stacks, it double, the application, not your SP, then your SP gets added on the top, not multiplied. This
Example.
Stack 1 450
Stack 2 900
Stack 3 1800
Stack 4 3600
Stack 5 7200
Etc.

Absolute perfect chance of utilizing this would be if you
1) Acquire the buff
2) Be summoned to a raid staring at a boss (within 5 secs)
3) Iceblock pull the boss, get about 5-6 stacks up
4) Have a GRIP of healers spamming you
5) Pallies use sacrifice, priests use pain suppression
6) If you manage to live the 30 sec Hypothermia debuff, then iceblock again
I think you could actually get 50+ stacks on a boss, assuming you had a LOT of healers spamming you, and you were in STAM/RESIL gear. Otherwise, it's not as uber as we think, sadly.
