I think more than anything we just learned all the potential pitfalls. Too bad all your hard work, although crucial to our success, didn't result in you getting credit yet. On our sucessful run, we only had one pull where we got more than we thought, and with two shackles we handled it well. I think the main reason we didn't have more mistakes is because we'd made them recently.
By the time Xarhud and Conc showed up, I was able to remind everyone repeatedly (and myself) about all the places to hug the wall, don't step left, watch the ghoul pack on the right, etc. If we hadn't done the first runs we would have made those mistakes in a later one. Our first attempt with the second group we wiped with just one mistake, and guess what? It was in a place that was later than what we got to with the first group. I think you have to make a bunch of mistakes to remind you to not do them the next time.
Good news is now we have 3 people who know how to do the pulls -- GG, Urza, and Conc.
If you don't make any mistakes, nearly any group can do it (assuming they can do it non-45 minute). Having a backup healer really helps if you make a mistake. The best mistakes are those that you just pull a mob that you were going to kill anyway.
Necrali isn't very good at keeping herself alive in those situations -- I need to get better. Healthstone, health pot, etc.
