Can marrowgar bonespikes target a tank?

Hi, so I was raiding icc today and the OT got spiked.
Bonespike ability targets a random target(being less likely to focus tanks or smth)? bc its the first time I seen a tank a getting impaled.

Yes and no, the Bone Spike Graveyard itself just selects random players, however there is a mechanic that makes you immune (or rather tanks)

Bone Slice - Melee range - Splits 200% of normal melee damage to an enemy and its nearest ally, replacing melee attack. Used every second, but not during bone spike graveyard cast; prevents the targets from being targeted by Bone Spike Graveyard. If there is no one near Lord Marrowgar's target, that target takes the full damage of Bone Slice.

OT got too far away from MT, not getting Bone Sliced, thus not getting protection against BSG. Also possible that Bone Slice hit MT + DPS instead of MT+OT due to bad positioning.

Erhm, guys.
He asks about bonespike, not boss cleave. Anyone who not top-2 in aggro can be target of bonespike

Boss won't do bonespike on targets that suffered a cleave. Cleaved targets are safe from this ability... This has nothing to do with aggro.
