FFXI was a great PVE game, so many memories.

Honestly, I'm surprised more games haven't taken a few lessons from FFXI. I mean, I know it was nothing but a huge grind, and just like everyone else the lfg wait times were terrible, but some of the combat abilities in that game were fantastic. Skill chains, magic bursts, etc. It really rewarded you for working well together and being coordinated.

In WoW the only real advantage to that is focus firing and such, otherwise for most of the pve you don't really need to be all that coordinated.
