@Jacob:

Huh! I’ve never done it that way, or seen it done that way. Thanks for the comment!

Anna wrote”the tanks will be swapping the bosses back and forth, but you will always be on the same general side of the room.”

As a caution – be aware that some raids keep the boss in the same corner, and have the raid swap back and forth. We do it this way, because it was easier for our raider to learn.

“When you reach 3 stacks, EVERYONE runs to the appropriate opposite corner. Tanks, cross-taunt the bosses as you pass” is a nice simple instruction, and it has the advantage that you do the same behavior on the front two bosses as you do on the back two.

@Wukki:

It’s really a toss-up on this one, because Paladins *are* well suited to the stable healing of Rivendare/Thane. However, with Beacon of Light, they have the ability to heal themselves (beacon self, heal tank) and not need any extra looking after. I find that if I save Holy Shock for the transitions where we have to run back and forth, and keep Beacon refreshed, it’s really not the kind of “mobility” fight in the back.

6 of one thing, half dozen of the other – I can see how both strategies work!

We always put our paladins on the Rivendare tank, and use more mobile healers like druids in back. More squishy, but able to heal on the go better if need be.

I may try putting the paladins in back though. Might help.
