How many does it take to kill Xanxicar
I've only helped kill him once or twice since his encounter was made significantly harder a couple of years ago (when the rock crystal mobs were added) so I'm not sure about the answer.
But he's definitely raid material. I'd think you'd need at least two groups and maybe more. In earlier years, people used to kill him with a necro and cleric.
These instructions from summer 2010 for RvR servers (alb toons only) look pretty good. I don't think Xanxicar has changed since then:

The mobs have 100% matter resists so make sure you have fire/ice wizzies and non-matter spec cabs (this really sucks because dots wreck 60+ mobs).
The best way I have seen to do it is have a tank with 2 di2+ clerics run out and pull the dragon, NO ONE ELSE hit the dragon just let him slam dragon and spam aggro style, make sure no one heals the tank till the di's are gone, need to get tons of aggro on that tank.
Have EVERYONE else kill the adds have 1 main assist (NOT the tank on the dragon, like you did in your last raid).
May want to have cabbies with ml9 pets because they can tank 3 or 4 of those rock dudes pretty easy.
I would also suggest having the group with the main tank stand away from the rest of the bg so IF the dragon aoe's it doesn't kill half the bg.
Lastly, SCOUTS!!!! lots and LOTS of them, scouts completly annihilate purple mobs because they hit like casters but cannot get resisted, have them use heat or cold shot (whichever type of wizzy you have as MA) and those rock dudes with drop like flies.
Once you get them down just drop everything you can on the dragon, but make sure that tank keeps aggro, make the main tank group with ALL tanks so the two clerics/other healers can each have 2 or 3 tanks protecting them so they do not get aggro.
Tank group should look something like 2xArms/2xMerc/Pali/Cleric/Cleric/(Tick/Friar) have an arms and a merc protect one cleric and the other arms/merc protect the other, have the pali protect the last guy. Send that whole group in to fight the dragon, keep the healers at a little range so they don't get aoe'd but pretty much have them in the middle while everyone else clears the adds.
Another option might be to have someone Suicide on Xanxicar to force the rock spawns and then have the whole bg take out that first wave before actually tanking him.
