Eek. I just reread that. Just to clarify, I meant no
disrespect with that statement. I do appreciate your advice
on torgors and will inform the shaman/enchanter next time.
It just didn't have anything to do with my question - how
valid a tactic is it to devote one tank to the extra giant(s).

The question still remains though - does the decreased time to
kill a giant with all tanks attacking offset the extra healing
required to have the bard tank the extras, torgored or not.
Torgors obviously can change the equation, but doesn't answer
the question.
