I've watched some fights on beta. Some are using solid strategies and have what look like a few boxed clerics (which is fine cause beta, but not representative of what is possible on live).
Also I've seen some pillar tanking, which I'm not sure how the staff are going to handle it, as I'm not familiar with how it was handled on live. But essentially people are tanking dragons in locations where their DPS or their Tank are not viewable by a dragon, and therefore not getting hit by AEs... Yet they can still melee the dragon. I don't think they've gotten full z-axis pillar tanking exploit where the dragon stays static but cannot melee the tank, but there are definitely some spots you can melee a dragon, hold aggro, and still not be hit by the AE because geometry.
Exploiting geometry/hit box bug or clever raid tactic? That is to be determined by staff I thinks.
Also due to the server environment I think the pulls that will get done on live will be weird. Most guilds would just clear to a mob and kill it. On P99 though, clearing means someone can leapfrog you. So I fully expect large trains of mobs to get them out of the way and tagging dragons out of these trains. Somewhat similar to how VP is. But it will creep into zones where random non-raiders are inhabiting and may cause issues.
It will be interesting to say the least. I think sim repops during Velious will be the most fun because every guild will have a few good targets they can go for due to the increased number of them.
