You still have to stay out of their auras, rag may repop before banish fades, and if a warlock dies attempting to continue the fight with Him, you've now got a very dangerous add loose with an AE mana drain.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. You don't want to permanently banish a son. The idea is that the warlocks banish a few targets so that the main raid has fewer targets to deal with. Then by the time the main raid kills the first batch of sons, the banishes will have expired and you can burn those sons down.
As I said before, we like to hurt the last son down to below half its life and then banish it (usually with a short duration banish) to prevent Ragnaros from coming up early, which gives our casters a chance to regen mana for 15-30 seconds and also gives our raid a chance to get in their positions for Rag. Once Rag comes up and the banish wears off, the ranged dps finishes off that son. I discussed this with Mirajj the other night and he's convinced it doesn't work. But since my guild had been doing this every week for months, I'm quite confident about it.
