With the released hold on Twins discussion, I thought I might start this off.

The different positioning and kill orders has been well known and discussed thoroughly on the WoW R&D forums, so I thought I might focus on the lesser known mechanics of the fight (to our guild, at least). As everybody knows, the Shadow Images despawn after a certain amount of time, which is why most positions have the two twins tanked at the top of the room and down below. However, we haven't been able to completely take them out of the equation as of yet (one or two will almost always reach the raid), and even moreover, we cannot figure out their targeting mechanics.

Some have theorized that it's line of sight, which is a possibility, but we have not been able to reliably position the shadow twin properly out of sight while keeping the tanks in sight for heals. Because of this, we have several of the tank healers close to the shadow twin wearing some shadow resist. However, as I've said before, due to the fickle positioning, we are never sure if the images reaching the raid are due to the fact that they are in line of sight, or that the mechanic simply does not work that way at all.
