Dead side tank:

/target Spectral Trainee
/target Spectral Horse
/target Spectral Rider
/target Spectral Deathknight
This is pretty much how I envisioned it, though I'll probably put the horses as my priority since my caster group typically handles dead side, and the AOE stomp just rapes them.

As far as funny little gimmicks go, one thing we do for Gothic is place each group in adjacent corners and then place the holy priest (I believe you run with one) on the live side but in the same raid group as the dead side. Prayer of Healing will work through the divider. When mobs get past the live tank we have CoH and PoM and when they start to AoE on the dead side we have PoH. The only down side is that we sometimes get healing aggro on the opposite side...dead mobs running to the live side mostly. Maybe a little cheesy but this little trick greatly simplified healing making it easier to watch the tanking.
I saw something like that when I was practicing last night. I'm not sure if I want to juggle healing aggro like that, though it does make a good case for maybe dropping just an OT on one side and relying on Circle of Healing, Wild Growth, and Prayer of Mending to keep them up while the mobs get aggro and move to the side that can kill them quickly.
