The Role of Soakers in Raiding

I thought soakers were just large squirt guns but in WOW soakers are one role in raids.  Bell explains, "If you're not sure what a soaker is, it's a person who is the opposite color aura of the group they are closest to, and their job is to soak incoming orbs before they hit the raid, as well as dodge their opposite color orbs so that they do hit the raid (and thus buff damage). A soaker has to be highly mobile, as standing still to cast is a bit of a danger to them, depending upon persistence of orbs."
If you want to read more about soakers and the raid Bell was on with them, here's the link.
