+This is a dead zone that only your tank should be in at any given time for most dragons. Generally, the maw includes both the breath and cleave attacks from a dragon. This area is determined through the following geometry (I'm no math major, bear with me):
 From the focus point of the dragon, a straight line to the tank represents the direction of the dragon. From this line, the maw is determined as a 30-90 degree arc extending from the focus point. Any attacks made in this arc, such as a 90 degree cleave, will then do a secondary check - anyone inside the targetting reticule (underneath the body) are not hit with the frontal cleave. Instead, the player will generally have to be in front of the actual flailing dragonlegs.

 Naxxramas encourages between three and five capable tanks for most encounters, though much of the tanking is both temporary and not heavily damaging. Heavy tanking gear comprised of solid stamina and armor is most helpful here, and by the time you are in this zone your defense levels should also be very high.

Another strange bonus for this zone is +hit gear, which will dramatically alter your ability to control certain fights such as Noth.

	In conclusion, I have one thing I sincerely hope for. The grind to 70 I want to be fun; I'm not interested in jumping through hoops for kicks. If Blizzard continues the path they seem to be going, I believe we will find we are going to get a grind which respects us as players -- creatures we fight, perhaps even non-instanced, will be scripted and unique. The 5 and 10-man zones we explore will require more than simply holding aggro wherever we want and hoping our DPS can match it. If we are challenged intellectually, the World of Warcraft will see it's first major expansion in a huge way; and, in a way it's tanks will appreciate.
