    How is it possible to t1 with 1 tank? Also, on excalibur at least, I have yet to see an issue with tanks being left out of coil due to the Enrage strategy.

    Well it is indeed possible to solo tank t1 if you didn't know. My static has been doing it for 2 months or maybe more just going with 1 more DPS its easier to kill stuff and burn through phases.
    You can solo tank the whole coil 1-5, also you dont even need to wait for enrage in t2 with 1 tank, you can do t2 normal way with 1 tank only spamming adlo and ss on MT.
    However i think SE is quite aware of this and most likely turns 6-10 will have some stack mechanics in bosses that's not possible to avoid even with shields and stuff so they will force 2 tanks in the future.
    Anyway to do solo tank coil 1-5 you need pretty good DPS and healers plus overgeared tank i guess, so no way you can pug solo tank 1-4 most likely.

    An IL 90 Tank grabs the boss, everyone zergs it without feeding it at all until it splits. Then that one tank grabs the new split and makes it merge back. The boss enrages and you get healed through the 4-5k hits he does and dps burns him. Popping sentinel, rampart, foresight, and eventually hallowed. DPS has to be on the f'in ball, but it can be done. E..g full il85+ groups can do this all with relic +1 or EX weapons.
