This is a great idea...
I was about to post this idea today, but did a search and found this thread....am really surprised it doesn't have more replies.
An example, nothing intricate, of how to implement this is found in the computer game, Age of Empires: Age of Kings.
One can choose from either 3 or 4 different pre-made templates for one's troops that are in formation with your character;
Box Formation, Fan-out/Scatter, etc...
Having a selection for a Line and having them spaced out would be nice, as well as having an option to ensure they stay with you when you want to run/sprint away...er, I mean, "withdraw strategically"
I am also tired of trying to flag my Heroes and Henchmen to different areas to just avoid the Area-of-Effect damage that we are constantly exposed to, and taking the time to flag them away from one another takes up valuable combat time that I could be doing something more useful
(in other words, it's still a great game, but I get frustrated a lot, uttering words that are less Gentlemanly than I am proud of ).
Again, great idea, do hope to see this available, not just in GW2, but in GW1
