I enjoyed Leroy, but the little meeting before cracked me up a bit. Just so calm and coordinated.... calculating the percentage of survival and such.

Not playing the game, this won't be as funny to you, but all the planning they're doing is wrong in every way. It's a spoof on the planning that people do before boss fights or major encounters. Every strategy they talk about will have exactly the opposite effect that they want it to have. Intimidating shout, for example, attracts mobs to you instead of scattering them. The percentage of survival is just for spoof/humor value. No one actually does that.
As Montana said, however, planning is essential for any boss battle from a named mob in Darkshore (Den Mother, cough cough) to Ragnaros. Running up to one and just hoping that things will work out is pretty much guaranteed death, even for the most well-equipped raid group. These encounters are designed to be challenging, and, while many of them can be made more routine with good planning and coordination, you have to set that up beforehand so that people know what they're doing.
