Coding a respawn system is not difficult, the problem is coming to an agreement with how we want it to be handled.

Don't want to respawn 5 mobs on top of them for surprise buttsecks.
So someone suggested "Just give a warning then".. but then if we have a warning, we have 100+ raid players poopsocked on the raid mobs before they even spawn. We have camps being stolen when people leave to get to safety, etc.

You could do batch spawns, with a warning trigger on the first one and a slightly smaller batch.
"All of Norrath shakes as an earthquake rocks the earth"
Then split mobs up into a batches - static or run-time chosen (for instance, no need to spawn mobs that already are up). Space the waves about 2 minutes apart. Gives people time to get to a safe zone, let's everyone know that it's happening, and people will have to choose targets quickly.
Just my 2c.
