Indeed, but is that really relevant here or are you just trying to downplay the point? There's not really anything to optimise with a bunch of Tanks flailing on a pair of bosses, the barrier was having enough HP to survive some hood swings and enough DPS to kill them before their damage really ramped up. Could they have killed T1 like this sooner with more optimisation? Likely not a full tier sooner.

If they had todays kits or the fight did modern levels of tank damage.. Whole different story.
