2 Priests, 2 Hunters, and a Rogue walk into BRD...

[BoddoZerg]

We we're using exploding trap.  What we would do is place them down, one behind the other, far enough so that one would not take out the other.  Then, one of us would run and body aggro the mobs (usually 10-12) and bunch them up, run back through both traps, making sure to get each mob the damage and DOT.  From there, Volley was also used by the Hunter with the least amount of aggro, also doing a great deal of damage.

Controlled Chaos.  It's what we are good at.

I had another interesting idea. A Fire Nova totem (15 second cooldown) does 400-500 AoE damage in a radius similar to Arcane Explosion. That's enough to reduce the Lyceum mobs to very low HP, where a Magma Totem (no cooldown) could kill them.

As long as some kind of aggro-drawing shout is used first, or even a Stoneclaw Totem, it should be possible for a Shaman to be an AoE damage dealer for a Lyceum group. So even if you have no Mage, it should be completely possible to AoE your way through the Lyceum.
