Brotherhood of the Sword primer

Today myself and two fleet mates tried the Brotherhood of the Sword STF, here's some basic first look observations. Think of it as a primer for your first run and a temporary walk-through until the professionals do one.
At first it looks like pure brutal chaos which you have no hope of doing. As one of our team was a dirty splitter, and let before we'd even got half way. Of course once he'd left we got into the swing of things and easily completed the mission. When people get used to it, it'll be a by the numbers run.
For any team who communicate then it'll be a cake walk.
The mission is split into two five parts. The first four are identical, just in different locations. The final one is a simple boss battle. If you want to have a recce of the ground you'll be fighting over, its a re-use of the Qu'Nos map. It is essentially a circuit from the challenge floor > lore singers court yard > Exchange fountain > Forge area > Challenge floor again. With the boss battle on the Lore singers Court yard.
Parts 1-4:
There is a central glowing device to click on, and it reveals two other devices which need to be activated. Only trouble is you have 15 seconds to activate both, and the game drops a load of baddies onto your head.
So the theory is:
Two players to each of the secondary devices, one to activate the main Device. Of the two heading to the secondary device one grabs the agro, while the other works the device.
Part 5:
The boss battle. This one is simple: FIRE EVERYTHING!
Some observations on fighting the Herald, and all his little wizards:
1: Defilers can raise all the Constructs in with one power. So kill them first.
2: There is a lot of hostile fire being chucked about that bypasses shields, so be ready for it. If nothing else bring 1x metric butt-ton of hypo's (Or if you're cooler than that 1x Imperial butt-ton).
3: As we all know, Marmite is bad and disgusting. When Fighting the Herald boss he chucks swirly balls of it around. I hardly feel I need to say it, but avoid these.
