Flame Leviathan: No woman driver jokes please!

As most raiders predicted after seeing the Malygos fight and all the vehicle quests/PvP opportunities, Ulduar starts out with an all-vehicle fight. Flame Leviathan has three types of vehicles to ride/fight in, and two of these types can carry a passenger. It's basically a kite and kill fight. Fusion of Turalyon fought it, Kyth's write-up is on www.stratfu.com.
The best thing you can do to prepare for this is to do the various fights which have vehicles involved. In other words, Wintergrasp and Strand of the Ancients, and the various quests that involve combat vehicles. If you have the Northrend Loremaster achievement, you have probably at least experienced all of them. As I read the strats, I'm starting to get ideas of who should be in which vehicles also. For instance, siege engine drivers should be able to tank, kite, and interrupt. Salvaged demolisher drivers and passengers on both large vehicles should be good with ranged attacks. Salvaged chopper drivers should be able to dart in and out quickly as they drop tar.
I'm thinking I will be a passenger on a siege engine or salvaged demolisher, so to prepare, I'm going to do wintergrasp and try to be a gunner as much as possible.
