About group compositions
Personally I don't feel using shadow priests is worth it unless you got more than 2 casters and/or only 2 healers.
First times we did the timed run we had mostly melee, 1 mage and 1 warlock while healers just used mana potions.
Pallie tanks or consecration in general are being louded as awesome and I certainly agree but with some good coordination and slowing traps or earthbind totems dragonhawks seem to die more or less within the duration of an aoe taunt.
We have been able to do the timed run with most combinations of classes with just considering stacking in the sense of melee vs casters and their specific needs.
What seems to me to be the biggest loss in time from class stacking would be heroism.
About bosses
We tank everything in the middle of their platform and spread around the boss (melee exempt).
Eagle boss casters stand as close to the melee they can without making the lightning bolts jump to them.
This gives the benefit of melee being able to keep dps up while the storm is up.
You also won't need to group up just before the storm and risk getting hit by that last lightning bolt he decides to throw on you anyway.
On Dragonhawk healers can keep track of which side the hatchers are breaking the eggs.
And move accordingly to the opposite side. As dps and at least 1 tank are now on that side killing hatchlings there is no need to increase the chance for flame breadth by standing there as well.
