Melee stop /follow'ing the moment they start autoattacking.

Therefore if you position the tank on the opposite side of the boss from the healer, then the melee will start /follow'ing the tank after the aoe and stop /following once they reach autoattack range of the boss.

That's the idea, anyway.
If the range of the AOE isn't that long then yes I would have the tank on the far side of the healer. However /follow doesn't have that long of a range to begin with, then the boss won't stand right on the tank either but rather about 5 yds infront of the tank, then you have to consider that the melee isn't going to run all the way up to the healer either but stop about 5 yds. away or so making it even less distance in between still so you're looking more at something like...
Tank---[Boss]---------Melee---Healer/Ranged

Now if the Boss' aoe range isn't that long then this would be just fine. However some bosses have a bit longer aoe range and this just wouldn't be enough room.

Now this is all assuming a pure tank and spank fight with no knockbacks or other gimmicks like MC or fear, just simply an uninterruptable aoe ability. Also worth noting would be that due to server lag much like the one you see when spamming lightning bolt and such the melee won't stop right at the bosses' back but rather run inside of them just a little bit and also putting the alts at varying distances from the tank. If you just hit the back button for your melee at this point you may make them go too far. If the boss isn't being a bastard and is standing still you could simply hit your /follow tank macro till they are all lined up and then inch them backwards till they are at the bosses' back.
