Trash mobs are going to be a huge time sink for the raid as a whole. The goal is to minimise the trash mob time taken. The procedure for a trash mob is, as a whole, simple:

Pulling
The pulling encloses both getting the mob to the camp as well as initial aggro. During the pulling, the only people to move away from the camp will be the assigned tanks, the paladins assigned to healing the tanks and possibly warlocks as needed for banishing elementals.

Everyone else stays in camp, ready for battle

When the pulling team has located the mob, they will come to it with the camp. At this point, the mob will still be very low on aggro. The tanks will then start to draw aggro while assisted by Paladin heals mostly, assisted by priests if the tanks go too low.

Killing
This is the easy part. In case of two mobs, the group's main target will be marked by a hunter's mark. That is the target to kill. When you draw aggro (and you will, because the aggro tables are not static), do not run. Do not move. Let the mob beat on you, or use defensive skills if available. The mob will be picked off you as needed, and you will be healed.

If the tank calls for it, everyone's DPS must stop immediately.

I don't want to spoil the fun (hell, fun is very much promoted) but we do need to have some discipline if we don't want to end up deploying a repair bot at the dungeon entrance.
