Exit the Dvucca Isle staging point into the rest of the Caedarva Mire. If your party is around 70-72, the mobs will con VT-IT, and you will want to set up a more stationary camp at the mouth of the passage, pulling Lamia Idolators and Heraldic Imps. If your party is closer towards 75, you will want to roam, killing Lamia Idolators, Heraldic Imps, and Jnun.
Should you be roaming, you can either move back and fro in a line, or circle one of the ponds (using the Jnun inside to maintain a chain). The problem is that you may occasionally get aggro from an EP/DC Water Elemental which will break your chain if you choose to circle.
All the primary mobs here are "Black Mages". Lamia Idolators can actually cast all forms of Black Magic, including -ga III spells and a DRK's Absorb spells. As Lamia are undead, they will generally have Ice Spikes on, which need to be dispelled, too. While they also have a lot of HP, they have pretty low defense, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem. Just to be safe though, you may want a RDM to keep the mobs Silenced, although I didn't find it imperative to do so.

They are Qutrub, not lamie =]
Lamia Idolator in other words "One who Idols Lamie aka Qutrub :P
Just responding to daba mylord... I don't know where you're getting that melees do weak damage to them while nukes do a ton of damage. Melees do huge damage to them just like BLMs. Qutrubs are like Boreal Hound: they take huge amounts of damage, but have huge amounts of HP to compensate. A SATA'ed WS will regularly do anywhere from 2-3.5k, depending on job and how well-geared the melee is. As a BLU, my regular (physical) spell damage ranges from 500-1000 on weak mobs (like imps); on qutrubs, it is probably double that. And that's without SATA (NIN sub) or Chain Affinity. I've seen a picture of a DRK doing a 3600+ SATA'ed WS, followed by an 11k+ Darkness SC. So contrary to what you are suggesting, this camp is actually the BEST camp in ToAU for an "old school" type PT (i.e. SC and MB-reliant, rather than melee burn).
there are fewer imp pops here. toads are an option. darkness skillchain will rape a qutrub but you cannot use an ice-based MB, as undead will resist ice-based spells. my recommendation is to use water or stone as the MB.
all the non-tank melees should go /thf and use TA+WS off the tank, this includes warriors that like to use rampage or raging rush. this is the only way to keep hate on the tank effectively. you want sneak attack to destroy their weapons, especially the one on the rear.
this camp is not for the ws-burn merit party, I only counted 3 maybe 4 imp spawns on the entire map. imps only got maybe 3k hp MAX, qutrubs have about 15k to 20k HP at the very least.
this camp is fun with sams and blm spamming sc mb theres a screenshot out there with a blm doing 8k on a burst 2 MB on these.
The one thing I don't like about this camp is that Qutrubs are totally immune to Lullaby and incredibly resistant to Sleep being dark based and all. Which makes consecutive pulls & adds hard to handle.
Don't know about Repose yet but I wouldn't recommend this camp for the aforementioned reasons D:
