I have done all my Keeper runs as BRD - the class most likely to actually maintain constant DPS in those last two boss fights (and I am hereby calling the instance, "Spammer Of The Lake" for all dodgedodgedodge it entails), and it is STILL a challenge to keep from stepping in Boom even for that class, the most mobile DPS available. I can only imagine how bad it is for DoMs (My highest spellflinger is only 32 - I'm not there yet).
It's a pain for spellslingers, frankly.
As BLM, I try to stay to the sides (which avoids the line AEs), but there's still a fair amount of running around required. Keeping Thunder up for Thundercloud procs is very helpful. As WHM, well... thankfully the damage output of the normal boss attacks isn't that high, but there's a lot of "OMG will it go off in time?" with heals when people eat an AE attack. This is especially bad on the second boss because of the random Garlean Fire shots, but the Dragon can be tricky when people get stuck in the big growing rings of fire.
Rant from WoD last night: the healers of the raid MT's group simply would not move out of Level 150 Death. We wiped twice when the raid tank died because both of his healers were toast. They nearly killed me once (thankfully, one of our DPS got wise and ran in to bring the level count to 200 and save me). I also have to give a shout-out to the RNG, which apparently took personal offense to my existence and murdered me. Immediately after the hourglasses went down the first time, I was targeted by Level 150 Death with its attendant Bind... and then the Finger of Death landed on my quadrant. Still bound, I got to sit and watch Bind get removed, only to be replaced with Stun and my inevitable demise. Sigh.
