It is especially suitable for stronghold just because of the nature of the map:
1. 1st room is annoying to do regularly because all the mobs are spread out
2. straight and right corridor round up nicely because the tank can take an alternate path and everyone can meet in the middle
3. backroom is annoying to do with all the fire traps

I've never been in a group in any of the other maps and seen someone do a death train. It seems like those other maps aren't as suitable, but it must be possible and is probably at least slightly faster as well. I think the ideal would be like Moosefooger mentioned - basically all DPS hold onto their attacks until everything is rounded up, and then everyone combos together. If the party is fairly strong and everyone coordinates to chain their combos, a lot of times there are fireworks and then everything is dead.

I'm thinking about doing some tests to see the max range for pulling groups away from their spawn points, but I wanted to first see if anyone else has experience with this. Also, if anyone is interested in running some death trains, I'm on most evenings after 6-7pm PST (break for dinner).

Works in CTK but some enemies have short leaches so you have to know where and when pretty well.
