One thing I might be interested in: I do not know a thing about how groups are formed in raids (except clerics in the same group with a bard, and maybe melees together with an off healer?), but it might help me if groups were formed to bunch together people exposed to a fire AoE together. It might not be as important as other considerations, and it might not be worth the trouble, but I'll dig a bit into it. Does anyone have a resource on group compositions in raids? If I was more confident in the way groups are formed now, I would be more comfortable adding another consideration.

Sounds like it went well, good job! Regarding forming groups I think it's usually a pretty ad-hoc self-organizing affair, but in my experience people also tend to try to form groups where everyone's in the same role. The only constant is that there will be a cleric group with a bard, and a pulling group with the monks. Then it's whoever takes the initiative to look around to see who's LFG and start inviting. But usually all the DPS classes will group up together, and the tanks will be in a group, probably with a shaman. And usually each group that might be taking damage will have a spot healer if there's enough to go around.
Have you had a conversation with your raid leader? That might also be helpful. When our guild formed I was the first druid to hit 60, and potg would take half my mana. So I sent a message to our raid leader saying I needed his help to get everyone buffed who needed it, and at the start of the raid he took a minute to get all the groups organized and ready for potg. Aegis of Ro is a little different, of course, but explaining what you're trying to do and asking about how groups are formed might help you both.
