I've participated in 1 MajorDomo kill on Al'Akir (European server) as a mage, having missed the guild's previous 2 kills for various reasons. My job was to stand still, ignoring the chaos around me and make sure my assigned Healer stayed in his wooly coat. Nothing seemed to target me, was just a case of watch/sheep/watch/sheep and make sure to start casting the instant either the previous poly effect broke or when the 5 second warning went off. IIRC there were no specific positions assigned to individual tanking teams, it was literally left to the OTs to make sure their Elite went *nowhere* while the DPS was switched around. This was accomplished with assigned hunter pulls and a healer or two dedicated to each OT with the DPS left to fend for themselves with bandages pots and out of the danger area.
The order was something like the one posted on the Basin boards in the thread linked by Legedi already. 2 Elites killed, 1 Healer, 2 Elites/1 Healer taken down to 20%, then one of the remaining Healers killed, kill the 3 mobs on 20% and then do the last Healer.
I do think we were overcautious when setting up and positioning isn't important enough to justify the emphasis given to it in preparation.
