Standing in this is a Bad Idea. Not only does the shadow really hurt, but the size of the ground AoE increases as long as someone is standing in it. Most ground AoE boss abilities allow for one or two ticks as a cushion; for Defile, players be moving away from the targeted player as soon as the Lich King casts the spell.
This Lich King ability has wiped many, many ICC raids. (The other mechanic that tended to destroy raids are the Val'kyr Shadowguards he summons. Yuck.)
