Of course this got us killed in LBRS because multiple crystallizes from the spiders sent them all after squishies. We did better with immediate AoE there.
The dance we have is that if I have to heal the tank before AoE comes in, they break for me. This ruins the flamestrike, and also divides my attention as Yuri starts AoEing which causes me stress ;)

Emphasis added. ;) With these dogs, it really is better to wait. You don't have to worry about your tank getting slept or stunned or crystallized or anything like that (although frequently the priest can dispell just about all of that crap off of the tank pretty darned quickly so it doesn't have to be so debilitating to the group. Sometimes you can't though because blizzard decided to make things more difficult ;) ).
You can also preshield the tank before the pull, and then hit the mage with shield after the cooldown is done and before the mage starts AoEing. Less chance of you getting aggro, but still keeps everyone safe. :) Or at least safer. ;)
Intolerant monkey.
