Ninja tanking and BCNM

I did one bcnm fight w/ a ninja tank and it was absolutely abysmall. At the start, we had a lag spike and missed the initial sleep and blink couldn't keep up w/ the monkishness of the mandras. This isn't the ninja's fault, but pld can roll a bit longer w/ a blip.
That all being said, i have been told that done correctly a ninja tank can be better than paladin once the bard is into full swing as he can then blink the black mandra and take almost no damage. As long as your mages are on their toes and kill flood, once you hit this point, you should be fine.
I think the single most important tip i could give you is, no matter what your tank is, make sure the entire party stays very close together, thus keeping all the mandras in range of the AoE on hordle lullaby (it's quite small). In fact, my ls is toying w/ doing this w/ no tank (the first time we won, our pld got hit w/ flood in 20 secs, so we had to do a 5-man party essentially and still won) but adding another dark or something instead. Slightly suicidal, but we have great faith in our bard.
