    For turn 2 I would recommend Paladins to have stone skin loaded as it is invaluable here. The current off tank should spend the time keeping stone skin on. This is especially important with the ADS as Vacuum Wave does significant damage to a Paladin with 3+ stacks and stone skins can mostly mitigate this damage so you are fresh on HP when you need to pull and not having to have the healers spend time keeping you topped off.

    Additionally once you get enough HP you can absorb the first auto attack and avoid the first debuff stack.

    If the two tanks focus target each other then it's easier to keep track of the stacks. Rather than looking at the party list.

    Ah, yeah that's a neat technique. Personally I just look at the party window but I've also moved and resized it to preference. To each their own I suppose.

    I don't have any issues with looking at the party bar to see how much the other tank has stacks-wise. Plus I'm always taking a quick peek at the party bar anyways to see how I'm managing threat against the dps and healers. So far I've had no issues maintaining threat and our group can now clear it in under 10 mins and that's with 4 nodes instead of 3, (our party is a i'lvl70/90 hybrid). RNG is a bitch.
