Jinrohk - classes to immunize Ionization
Horridon - Disc Priests
Council - Holy Paladins/Spriests/Locks
Tortos - Monks (BMs for kiting, WWs for leg sweeps, MW for insane healing)
Megaera - Locks, BMs (has a CD for every breath)
Ji-kun - Nothing really IMO, I guess rogues for their huge consistent DPS
Durumu - Ele Shaman
Primordius - Melee + DoT classes
DA - DoT classes (+ Locks deserve a special mention)
Iron Qon - Locks, any melee (rogues pref due to cloak)
Twins - Locks
Lei Shen - DKs, Locks, Disc Priests
Ra-den - ranged in general
The point is, the entire tier had bosses (on progression) where if you could stack say 4-5 Elemental Shamans on Durumu you were going for gold. To deny this and say "it doesn't benefit your raid much" is purposely being obtuse. On farm sure you don't need to class stack, right now we're able to kill Ra-den taking 8 healers (which shows just how much DPS is able to be put out absurdly).
