As you can see, these guys are WAY ahead of the rest of the curve. I believe their last pull + the fact that they save warp for gekkan is what made their game, and the useage of Rod of Ambershaping. The also reduced the first and last pulls to one big pull on each end of the instance.Rod of Ambershaping
