If you see one of your party members suddenly stop advancing, that means they are standing next to the AoE line, so align yourself to not be in its attack. Doesn't need to be obvious, because you've already done this mechanic.
I have never seen the dragon, and I always zoom out for that fight, I can see the whole arena, and the outsides of most of it, and not once have I ever seen it before it dives and I don't think I've ever seen anybody else go 'here' or stop or what not, we just strafe around the edge and pray we're near the edge of the AoE or out of it entirely.

That, and one thing I do hear, is lots of people complaining about framerate drops during the heavy fog/dive phase and even my computer stutters even though I get 60+ FPS everywhere else.
