I spotted this when looking through MMO Champion.

Useful, I'd say it's worth employing.  It's certainly not an exploit imo, just a cheese which is precisely what the mechanics allow.

Much tricker when you have Cobalt up too, but we adjusted in the end.  We had Cobalt (traps), Jade (chains) and Jasper this week.

Make good use of clearing Traps under Cobalt, but STOP clearing before the Cobalt buff goes!!

Due to space constraints, tended to have single add tanked nearer entrance steps end of room, twin adds tanked nearer middle of room.
Ranged raid stayed grouped up and moved with each new trap using space between tanks and watching for forthcoming range issues.
Single melee used, which meant only 1 ranged had to stand in melee range which lessened number of traps on twin adds tank.

Took us 70 mins ot adjust to this harder version of the fight, but it ended up being a job well done!
