Fights like Freya, Thorim, & Mimiron definatley need very specific plans for each individual person (particularily in 10 man) I have found that I have my notes sheet and I just write down who did what task the previous week (for the first few weeks) then I can easily make adjustments the following week to accomodate personell changes.

Back in the Molten Core days, I’d always thought that It’d be a good idea to Garageband the boss descriptions, and play them before a fight. Kinda like a movie trailer. That way, you get all the information in and don’t forget anything, and you can also make it entertaining. Of course, something like this only makes sense on 25 mans, and only if people are new or don’t know the fight. We rarely do more than assign tanks, healers, and groups these days.

I organize it by phase if its relevant for the fight. For instance for a fight like Razorscale I have it organized by phase, but I only list the abilities once.. the reason being is that he generally still uses the exact same abilities in the other phases. When I get to Mimiron, I expect I’ll have lots of specific phase notes given that each phase is unique.

Just a personal preference, but I prefer to organize my notes by phase.

So each of your other bullet points are mearly subsects of each phase. It seems that each phase in Ulduar boss fights has its own unique strategy/abilities/positioning.
