I was thinking about something related to this and it fits well into this idea.
I was pondering this:

How will the bots know when a belly cast(Sontalak) is required versus just melee range?

I am assuming that certain functions will simply have to be added as bot commands. Belly cast and AoE allowed being two of them. Bot AI could be added for MoBs like bosses but at times it will fail. For instance, I remember AoEing for exp in Seb, but a bot isnt able to determine if we are on an AoE exping trip to seb or a slow going mez stuff trip. Having commands to turn off mez and turn on AoE would be neccessary.
