From reading all of the cross-posts I would like add a quick summary. This is only a general review of the process and is modified for every mob and circumstance accordingly.

1) Instructions:
a) Combat roles assigned/reviewed (include an order for MA as they fall)
b) CR/campout/Evac process established,
c) Establish what to expect (resists needed, Does mob AoE/Summon?)
d) Loot rules established.

2) Prepare for pull:
a) Resist gear choices rechecked,
b) Buffs cast (trash buffs cast first if needed),
c) Cast Regen, Haste, and Damage Shields on the Puller.

2) Prepare for assist:
b) Buffs refreshed (trash buffs cast first if needed),
c) Cast Regen, Haste, and Damage Shields on the group.

3) Acquire target:
a) The Main Assist (MA) acquires target (from Puller if used),
b) MA builds aggro before the other tanks assist.

4) Assist Called:
a) Other Tanks and Melee assist MA from max effective range (and opposite the MA when able),
b) Placement makes it easier to visibly monitor the combat for aggro, target and tank health, targeting during combat, control mob knock-back, and tell if someone gets summoned.

5) Once aggro is established (generally 50-75%):
a) Casters debuff target mob,
b) Healers alternate the Prime Healer role on MA to spread the aggro,
c) Assist Healers (Shaman/Druid) watch the healers and caster in case of Summon or aggro.

6) When target is ready to run (generally 25%):
a) Movement control is established (root/snare/etc).

General Notes:
1) If you get aggro, do not move until aggro is removed. You will just kite the mob and mess up placement,
2) When sitting and summoned, do not hit the stand key. Summoned you will be hit and thus would actually be sitting again,
3) People will die, do not panic. Follow the established policy (see the Instructions section).
4) Helping friends is nice, but do not jeopardize the combat by bailing friends out. Follow the established policy (see the Instructions section).
