Am I wrong about this an the shadowmobs are ignorable?

Here's a bit more insight to what Trolling (Hi!) is saying on our two best attempts:
1.
Shadow Image - WWS
2.
Shadow Image - WWS
In comparison to the WWS reports that Trouble listed, #2 looks more similar to what we can assume that we should expect. #1, however, clearly shows what we were encountering on certain attempts. It's all about tank positioning, yes, and it is comforting to know that the Shadow Images are doing equal amounts of damage to the raid in each case (Fusion vs Vindicatum). I'm not sure if we were just expecting less damage or were actually encountering more.
In terms of positioning, the healers and ranged were hugging the top right pillar (or "pot-looking thing") upon entering the room.
We were attempting to mimic the Fusion video but, while Jynx did an excellent job at editing it, it doesn't really focus on the precise positioning of where healers are in terms of their tanks. Chain Heal appears as if it's bouncing on both sides of the top platform, for example, but it could have just been a second cast. Anyway, that's part of the fight, though -- seeing a glimpse a strat and perfecting it.
