Ok, after having JUST fought this guy, I'm very much persuaded that you've got the WRONG rusty bite associated with this guy.
HERE is the rusty bite that rusty CASTS: http://lucy.allakhazam.com/spell.html?id=7943&source=Live
It must be cured, or else you'll be dealing with 8k more damage a tick from this guy.
Also, it should be noted that rusty's max hit is 3461, and he flurries.
If you combine his normal damage output with his 8k DoT, he can spike up to nearly 4k DPS (rolling 6 second DPS) and can do close to 10k damage in a single shot (a good round + his 8k DoT).
This guy is nasty, but the good news is that the DoT is resistable and curable with disease.
the loc provided here seems to match up with the general area seen in the image so i set up shop near by and killed the ph at said loc a good 15 times, but no Rusty. i didnt have any luck with vorash either in BMK so ill assume it was a bad streak. caving in and buying overpriced armor from *** farmers ftw
Rusty spawns in the NW pit area. He spawned for us off of a roaming mob in the middle of the pit. He will wander back over to the trap area in the back corner if left to roam.
Also, his 'Rusty Bite' seemed to act like a DoT on our SK. After we killed him, the SK died after from another 5k hit. :o/
Rusty seems to have 2 or 3 PH's. Paste this into your map files for FM. THis location is the static spawn location, i have also seen him spawn in place of the wonderers just to the south of this loaction. Kill the mob in this loaction and the 3 or 4 wonderers and you will get your mob.
Location: P -1225.1021, -2477.8723, 400.6741, 0, 0, 0, 2, RUSTY
Rusty dropped "Rusty Steamwork Eye" charm today. As no Allak entry and had no idea on stats, will link the screenshot I took after rolling on it and equipping at Level 80 with 505 Intelligence: http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b249/honeychub/RustySteamworkEyeCharm.jpg
[ Edit: Seems now a new link in your database for this charm that wasn't here when I was wondering to roll on it or not yesterday, confirming the same stats as I got: https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=72108 ]
This Nice little guy Hits for 1k-3.1k "FAST". Has a spell he casts "Rusty Bite" no real clue... looked like an AC debuff. Droped a "Rusty Gear" (charm) All, All is Attunable. This Charm is Req 75 Rec 80 and Gains Power the "LESS" encumbered you are. In my opinion would be best for Monk Charm but cough cough a low weight Beast lord : )
