prince fight
I've read all the strategies, seen all the different positioning suggestions.
Where do *you* stand?
Trying to get an idea of what seems to be the most consistent positioning.

Last couple of times I've done Prince (my schedule keeps me from being an a weekly raid, so I sub in to various raids), it's been to the far left of the door, up against that side wall. Ranged/healing has the high wall about 5-6 shoulder to shoulder male tauren to their backs, and the short "railing" wall to their left. Tank is positioned in a little angle in the railing, where s/he can't be knocked back (much). The only thing that drags the fight out would be an infernal dropping in between ranged and tank, as this keeps the melee from being able to run in and out. Benefit of this spot, is if the tank does start inching towards the raid from knockbacks, there's plenty of extra space. The tank can also get positioned before either face/range pulling Prince, or having a hunter misdirect. Everyone usually waits for the first shadow nova so that we know we're back far enough, and tank has a good lead on aggro.

Way we have done it is tank takes price to the right of teh door up a ways and everyone else is a few meters from the door.
Past that you're at the mercy of elemental drops.

We have been starting off in the middle lately, with the tank holding him against the far wall, dead center. This gives you more than a couple of options when the $&%(*#$)@! infernals start dropping.

We stand way to the left against the wall roughly in the middle, and unless somebody doesn't listen nobody gets killed by infernals while we keep price at roughly 30 yards away along the same wall.
I remember when we first tried this kill a long time ago the issue was just the tanks stats, and healing along with some lack of dps during the second phase, however now I could just make a bot to curse of shadows/spam shadowbolt/tap/pot if I knew how lol.

We usually start in the middle with the tank to the far wall.
What I cant understand is why people use references such as "move away from the door" or whatever, if they said move north, south, etc...it would be much simpler for me but whatever, i just follow the dude with the star over the head.
