Alright, I'll expand on my theory involving the combat log and you can do what you will with it.
Since you do know the position of players in your raid and it is possible to watch the combat log for attacks, it is possible to infer a radius of more or less where the enemy had to be within when they made or took the hit.
In other words, if I know where the tank is, and I see that they've melee'd the boss, I know that at least a portion of the boss's hitbox is within 5 yards of that player at the time of the attack.
By watching other hits made by or to other units in the raid you can develop an estimate for the general location and facing of enemies that you're in combat with.
This wouldn't be all that simple to write, and since I've never actually seen someone do it before I can't say how realistic it would be to use this information. It was just something I was considering for a map addon I was writing.
