I had a discussion with WildcardX a while back about the AI routines. They need a lot of work still. It would be great for people to contribute logic for classes/roles they are very familiar with. Based on Wild's plans, he wanted the AI to be role based. Eg: healer, tank, offtank, debuff, croud control, whatever. He had an initial list of roles on his blog. I like his general thinking, but felt that in the long run it would be even better to have finer grain control over the AI. Unfortunately, none of it has been coded as of yet.
I was going to work on the AI code for a cleric healer with some considerations for druid and shaman healers. In other words, it'd work best for a cleric, but would do a passable job for the other two major healing classes. However, I've been very busy in RL and haven't had time to work on this as of yet.
I would suggest that anyone who feels they know a role well enough to code AI for it, do so and submit it. Anything submitted is likely to be used, now or at some point in the future. I would just ask for patience as I know all of us devs have more to do than we have time to do it.
