I've not done this in beta, but I did do it on live.

The success we had, from what I remember was NOT to ever touch or engage the giant spearmen.
The spearmen were a non factor. I've seen it done both ways. With the force we had, I wanted to get them out of the equation early. They summon if you get too close - and we had pets loose following people running around. So we popped them during the first wave without consequence.

If we were trying it with 30 people and a crack force, we'd give them a wide berth. As it was, I'm glad we knocked them out early.

Pets, like mage and necro can off tank some adds (chain pets if needed) for CC purpose.
Yeah, the pets were useful today. But they didn't work well as CC b/c the giants kept moving even when engaged a lot of the time. It's really strange. Sometimes they stopped. Sometimes they didn't. And it didn't seem to matter where on the map they were (read how close they were either to Thurg or their spawn point).

It's like they were disinterested. And I swear the dwarves were on giant faction half the time - or at least uninterested in defending their city.
