It isn't a matter of guilds using SoulFire rotations to keep a tank alive against raid mobs.
It's a matter of using them as means to "tank" (aka stall) until you have a viable raid force there.
Same deal with Bladestoppers. Though those are exploited for their aggro purposes as well when splitting mobs from trains.
SoulFires wouldn't be a huge deal if FTE wasn't attainable by someone in zone when the mob spawns. This is specific to a few mobs like Naggy, VS, and Inny. Where the accepted strategy is to ignore all trash, train it with you, and Zerg DPS the boss down before the train wipes you (Inny) or the train kills someone else and you get petitioned (VS). In fairness though, guilds have gotten better about rooting every single mob and killing VS in 3 min before roots break.
