My thanks to all.
It was immensely satisfying to down him after having put so much time and effort into just getting there.
Mongo,
As far as positioning goes, we didn't use the throne on our killl -- we stood inbetween the pillars, facing the spawn points. The warriors were first to pick up aggro, strictly by line-of-sight, and it took less time for the mobs to build up (they had equal distance to run, as opposed to the right side spawn point having to go slightly further). AoEing commenced fairly quickly, but with this strat, there's a lot of room for error. Our wipes were caused by inopportune MCs (tanks that can't be polied because of the AoEing) or healer aggro.
One of our veterans plays as the MT of an alliance guild on Llane, and he was the one that introduced us to this strategy (although, we executed it without him). He was saying that they had gotten red/blue draks that week and it was pretty much a snooze fest to kill Nef. The "throne" strat worked so well that they had very little problems. He was saying that it was easier with Paladins and their blessing of salvation, as opposed to Shamans with their Tranquil Air, though. We got creative with the group formations, so it all worked out in the end anyway.
Funny thing about our guild -- we commenced clearing BWL tonight, and wouldn't you know it, we wiped on Razorgore AND Vael. Typical "Teh Slax" fashion; down the hardest boss, then wipe on the easiest. :)

"Yay! We did it!"
"Who are you?"
"Um, uh... just ... a guy." *flee*
