Default Question concerning raid tanking

Good day to you all. I am a level 80 Paladin that will be starting t8 raids in the coming days. Our group will first be doing Thuuga, and I have been selected to MT the zone due to my Fearless morale ability. I would appreciate any help on the following questions;

1. Being the MT for this raid, what would be a good group set up for me?

2. I understand the basic tactics of the named, but are there any other hints any one can give me on how to effectively tank her?

Again I thank you all for any assistance you can provide to me.

1. if you have good enough healers, id say paladin, dirge, coercer, defiler, templar and some high parsing scout. my favorite scout amends target is the brigand because of all of the burst they can do.

2. just make sure the mobs back is facing the raid at all times, if a mob has a knockback you'll need to put it in a corner, i dont think the queen does, its a fairly straightforward fight.

Aye, what ammonia said is a good raid set up. If you have good healers, you can also try doing dirge, swashy/assassin, brigand, defiler, templar, and yourself for a set up. Great aggro there.

Tairiza doesn't have a knockback, but if she sacks you, then you will be thrown against a wall or quite a distance, so that might cause you problems (especially since you'll be stifled till the sac is off of you) other than that... well we've had a shadowknight tank it for our guild multiple times, I suspect a paladin will have no problems :p

Tanking this fight is no problem; the mob itself doens;t hit that hard so keep to 2 heals; uswe sigil every times its up and just AoE your heart out. I'm normally on adds on this fight but I loved to tank it was sooo much fun
