Unless I'm mistaken, this is not a bug. Yeah it's a cheap way to beat the boss but that's why they changed Dreadsteed.
Maybe it's not a bug per se, but it DOES break the game. It's never ending, sooo....you don't actually beat him. There's nothing cheap about it. His health gets frozen at -6 and the Icky Imps keep dying over and over and over. It went on for 20 minutes before I had to close out Hearthstone.
The problem is, this isn't as easy to fix as Dreadsteed was, because the instant re-summoning of the Imps is a key mechanic in that boss fight. But still, it's certifiably broken. So something needs to be done about it.
Yeah, I kind of half expect them to not even acknowledge this, let alone fix it. Which is why I figured at least to make a thread about it: If you're behind on the adventures and want a cheap win, this ain't it lol.
I've gone ahead and reported it to Blizzard, but as the title indicates, using Defile on Terestian Illhoof's Icky Imps breaks the game.
Note, this is just for normal mode. On Heroic, the Imps have 2 Health so in most instances Defile won't kill them over and over.

Now if the loop doesn't stop and you get stuck to match. Then it's a clear design problem.
i tried this out of curiosity. whilst defile kept on triggering, the client did not freeze/loop continuously.
It eventually gave me a win after some time. (around 2~3 mins).
