I had an absolute blast with the ToC Faction Champions fight last night, having been assigned to keep the resto druid locked down until we dropped the other healers, and this strategy worked pretty well for me in that role:

Felhunter out, Spell Lock and Devour Magic on manual. Stayed in pve spec (3/13/55) and gear save for swapping in my pvp trinket.

Dropped my port close to the middle, just behind where our hunter kept his frost trap up, and used it exclusively for
kiting the warrior when he targeted me.

Macros:
/cast [target=YOURNAMEHERE] Devour Magic (Primarily to dispell cc off of myself)
/cast [pet:Felhunter,target=focus] Spell Lock (Druid as focus)
Assist macro on a reliable dps, to swap to the current kill target between cc.

CC rotation:
Banish>Banish>Fear>Fear>Spell Lock>Shadowfury

This more or less allowed me to keep him locked down and off dr the entire time, swapping to the kill
target whenever I had the opportunity. Catching other NPCs with the shadowfurys was a nice bonus
whenever they were nearby.

I was surprised at how well this encounter reproduced the arena experience; definitely found myself
thinking in pvp terms for much of it. Exclusively pve players may find themselves a little lost when suddenly
dealing with more unpredictability than they are accustomed.
about faction champions.
atm our guild is struggling a bit with the encounter.. we have downed everything 1 max 2nd try.. the only fight where we struggle weekly (aka it takes 5-6 try every week to settle everything down) is faction champions (heck this week they lasted a ridiculous amount of 16 minutes, since me and other ppls that are usually top dps are on cc//full cc duty..)..
now my gripe: since i'm on resto dood locking i'm finding myself a bit "locked out for the action" (last kill resto dood was the last target, so i was on cc duty pretty much all the fight)..
save for when fear dispeller are gone//shaman is dead i find myself pretty much chain cc-ing the dood with practically no time left to dps.. am i being somewhat slow in swapping target or i can assume that that's kind of normal of just throwing just a few inci every now and then while keeping a full cc cycle (banish, banish, banish, spell-lock, fear, fear, fear, shadowfury if there's still a fear dispel since fear would have lasted too little, rinse) on dood?
