Well for those curious about what addon we were talking about.... here's the video in all its glory. Sorry for not having a streaming version set, still getting it uploaded everywhere:

Update: Streaming is now available at Warcraft Movies!
Warcraft Movies: Fusion Yogg+0: Dual-perspective by Kyth (StratFu)
What makes our video special is that it's simultaneously the view of me, a mage, who is up top doing tentacles, and then attacking Yogg in P3, and Krez, a hunter, who takes portals and is part of our leet puller crew for P3.
It also has vent, with a music background to keep you from getting bored.
Since only a handful of guilds did these fights pre-nerf, I'll do a quick review of the two main strategy types that developed to explain why, for example, some guilds used an addon and others didn't -- it had nothing to do with skill and everything to do with which strategy you chose.
Keep in mind the nerfs because they explain why people used these "dumb convoluted" strategies to kill him pre-nerf:
- Immortal guardians didn't used to change names when they got beaconed: you had to just tab target through the clump or mouse-target a mob with a purple hunters mark symbol on their had. Now of course you can use a very simple /target macro, trivializing that portion of the fight
- You used to be able to get up to five beacons at once: now you can only get three. But the older strategies were focused around how you handled 4-5 beacons, since those required a lot more people to handle or a lot more AE dps, depending on your strategy.
