Violet Hold is actually imo the easiest heroic, once you get it down its super simple. Three of the bosses are just tank n spank, the two bosses people have trouble with are the Ethereal guy and the Water globe lady. They both are however very simple. For the void zone guy, just burn him fast and ignore the adds, remember to purge his buff.

For water globe lady, simply back your team into a corner (any) and have one guy seperate and run to a red crystal switch. Tank'n'spank as normal, when she reaches 0 stacks have the guy by the crystal pop it. All the little ones are killed by it, and she reforms. Tank n spank again, have your runner go to another crystal, and pop again when she reaches 0 stacks. Rinse and repeat a third time, and she will be at 10% and not transform anymore and go down in a few seconds.

For ethereal guy, just have your team run up the stairs to the right at the back of the room. Burn him as fast as you can, lust magma etc. You simply cannot allow any of the globes to reach him, if they start coming close just run the whole team a bit aways and reburn. I can down him with a tank/heal/3dps team before a single globe gets to him, so I think a 4 dps team should have no problems at all.

Violet Hold is actually the only heroic I run daily, I am done in 20 minutes no matter what boss combo it is. Still need 1 more hit trinket, but the only damn things that drop are the pants and druid staff.

The heroics I really loathe are Utgarde Pinnacle, I manage to clear it every other day since last week (0 blue proto drakes sigh) but I usually wipe on skadi 3-7 times, one-shot every other boss. I also hate both spider kingdom instances, just random crap that leads to quick wipes. And Halls of Stone, haven't even tried tho since patch 3.08, I just hate that "Brann event" since if you don't move quickly the laser will kill your entire team. Haven't tried Oculus yet either, wanna try that one out soon.
Hmm this is good news - I hadn't seen any multibox strategies for these bosses that made sense - I will definitely try this now as I really want the tanking pants from Cyanigosa - that plus the bracers from herald will replace my last 2 blues
