It's not like there's too much a leader (or a follower) has to know about climbing Vahzl anyway:
1. Normal Promy stuff - aggro-dodging, standing in a safe spot and pulling to clear a path as needed (empty don't link), how to deal with memory receptacles. Use ffxi-atlas for MR locations. Only difference in all of this is that you have five floors in Vahzl instead of four, and some of the later MRs can pop out weeper- and seether-style strays.
2. On the third, fourth, and fifth floors, you have to fight a spawned NM and then see a followup CS. As these NMs are basically the exact same things as the original promy bosses, none of the strat should be unfamiliar. Except if you're doing the climb and the BC in one night, you may be trying to hold off on using 2-hours or animas (but on the other hand, you can throw a whole alliance at them, rather than just a party, if you want to).
That's really about it. Honestly, anyone who's done the first three promys (and paid a remote amount of attention at the time), who has an ffxi-atlas map of Promy-Vahzl, and who knows about the three spawned NMs, pretty much has all the knowledge you *need*.
