I had assumed that the spawns were totally random now. Wow, I guess not. Thank you Saevel. Unfortunately, this is a bit of a letdown.
Haha, Skirmish II was bad because of the insane wait times in between waves. Skirmish III is really fun, especially once you get to know the maps and can plan routes. Tier III / IV body is big enough that you can run in a giant circle while hitting different enemies and NM's. The respawn is 5m so some people just camp in an area but I find that to be boring so I usually take my group and kill every NM on the map. You get more points the first time you kill an NM, after that the respawn will give you less points. Each of the NM's is different and requires different strategy's. Because of that it's good to go with a somewhat well rounded group usually WHM BRD BLM DD x 3, you can toss in a COR but I find that rolls just aren't worth it most of the time. BLM is incredibly useful on certain NM's while always being solid for sniping monsters while your clearing a room. DD's can be anything from DNC, NIN, RUN to WAR, SAM, DRK, MNK, there isn't a very strict requirement for DPS, just the ability to think a bit and be creative.
