I'm not Treesh, but... ;)
All depends on the fight, the type of mobs, and the party composition.
You should know the composition of the pull before the group is pulled, not trying to figure out what's elite and not elite during the fight. The only time this isn't feasible is when you get an accidental pull or adds, in which case... you don't have an active puller anyway. The tank should already have the elite(s) in his sights at the pull, and should be focusing on them exclusively (using AoE aggro generation to delay the departure of the non-elites).

If a well-rounded group of five (one mage say) encountered 5 mobs, I think almost everyone would agree that AoE should be used if all five are non-elite. Would you still recommend an AoE fight if 1 mob were elite? What about two? Three?[right][snapback]84607[/snapback][/right]

Quote:3) I gave the AoE call to the puller because he or she may be the only one to see the mobs un-aggroed and have the time to check their elite/non-elite status. If the tank were to make this call, how would he or she know the number of elites that needed to be tanked?
