I tried this last night, as the Riplimb tank - I thought the traps went to where random people were standing? How do I control where the crystal trap is, so I can kite the dog into it? All the traps fell by DPS in the middle of the raid...

If you wanted to control it, you could have the ranged and healers prefer to be closer to Riplimb so you have more traps in the area. In reality, the traps that land on the offtank and any melee on Riplimb should suffice.

If there are no traps in the area, just pull Riplimb as far as possible towards Shannox and slow him down (the spear lands at the previous spot 60 yards away from the boss), while also having the main tank pull Shannox a farther distance from Riplimb while its running towards him. The combination of slows + distance lets the run time be sufficient to let stacks fall off. Trapping Riplimb is just insurance in case the distance isn't enough.

Yep, just as Sunaseni says, you can get Tear stacks to fall off without using any Crystal Traps. Distance + slows are enough, once you get the "spear has been launched, move Riplimb away" part down.
