However, my Aegis of Ro will be timed with the last group I refreshed, so it might be a good idea to cast Cadeau of Flame (same timer) on me first to see when the first group needs the Aegis refreshed, if that was what you meant.
Concerning the responsibility of a single person to keep the raid buffed without getting tells, it is a challenge I am giving myself.
I like the idea of having one designated person per group, but I'm not sure how I can manage that.

Cool idea for a self-challenge! Yeah, that was what I meant with buff timers, and yeah you pointed out the flaw: group buffs always refresh your own buff, even when cast on another group. If there's only 3-4 groups and you cast them all back-to-back it might take 30-60 seconds from first to last, so if you rely solely on your buff fading there might be a 30-60 second gap before rebuffs. Up to you if that's good enough, and yeah casting a different spell on yourself with the same timer could make it a little more seamless.
For designating one person per group, you could also do it purely on your own. Each time you cast it, pay attention to who it lands on, and then make sure not to cast on any of those other people. You should be able to pretty quickly pick up on who's in what group, and then just keep in your head who the 3-4 people you cast on were, and just rebuff those same people. This is a lot easier when you have separate windows for combat and spells, of course.
Also Snaggles makes some good points worth listening to (although at least there's no faction hits in Halls of Testing).
