We've done this before on one of our very early Legendary ITF runs - it takes a while but it does work. If I recall correctly we safely sniped the hell out
of one Nictus at least before beginning the fight proper.
There are other non-tank strategies for the ITF, mind you. An illusion or mind controller (or mind dom, fortunata, etc) can confuse Romulus, for example. I was
on a team that did this (a team from the Shield of Paragon, I hang out with 'em on occasion).
It's also possible to "hold" (I don't mean actual hold hold) Rommy with a couple of control and
debuff characters while the rest whack on the Nictus - separation of him and his friends is still ideal, I think, but you don't need a tank for it...a tank just does it best. A Brute's ghetto single-target gauntlet-alike will suffice; a Kheld Dwarf form
can manage it too.
You just need to, uh, rez the Brute and Kheld every once in a while. Likewise, this was also done by a Shield team. I lost count of the number of times the
Brute and Kheld faceplanted, but it did indeed work. =D
