Question: How do YOU handle big pulls with lots of AoE with melee DDs in the group?

So in my recent expert dungeon runs, because my healer keeps telling me she's bored, I've been doing the biggest pulls of trash that I can. This isn't too bad in Baelsar's Wall, but in Sohm Al HM, this leads to situations where there is so much AoE going out that, if I want to avoid it, I can never stand still. While this is fine for ranged DDs, melee DDs (especially those with positionals) are going to see a pretty dramatic dip in their output as a result of all that movement. As the enemies are constantly being herded around, they are going to constantly have to run to catch up, and are going to have an even harder time ensuring they are in the right position.

So the question is: how do you handle big pulls that throw out tons of AoE? Do you mitigate and soak the damage? Do you throw a middle finger to the melee DDs and dance around like a Manderville? Do you just avoid huge pulls when there is a melee DD in the group?

I'm still experimenting with the best option, but I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts. Discuss!
