If the cleric goes laser and as controlly as he can, I think your own real concern is not to throw too many brutes at them at once, cause without the defender to go toe-to-toe with them they'll take some people down. If the cleric doesn't do that, you also potentially have a problem with...

This caused a neat moment when I ran it where the party's Paladin/Fighter managed to Tide of Iron the Wyrmpriest off the edge off of his platform, whom then proceeded to get smashed by the boulder before he could get out of the way.
