Oh, and does this need a spoiler tag?

No. Caveat emptor and all that, but spoiler tags get used for future things.

Multiple gun shot wounds to Jayne? Could die.
Jumping into a room full of Reavers to get a medical bag? Could die.
Reaver grabs a hold of you and wrestles you to the ground? Could die.
Uber-machete chop to the back? Could die.
Poison darts to the neck? Could die.
Gun shot to the stomach? Could Die.
Sword to the midsection? Could die.

This would also be my top 7 list. I would maybe consider Tara in exchange for Joyce, but I had stronger emotions with "The Body" verses when Tara died.
I would also consider Wesley but after rewatching Angel recently, I felt like he kind of died with Fred. It was more sad but comforting thinking that they were finally together.

I'd say that's a matter of opinion. I found both deaths tragic, but Buffy's loss of her mother and the aftermath depicted in The Body are agonizing to me.

Makes me wonder if I need an element of irony in a death for it to feel tragic. The joyous glee of watching Tara and Willow get to be happy together. "Your shirt." The opposite of what I expected. Gut punch. Tragic death.

IMO of course.

Wash is too high and Topher was sacrificial and a little more Buffy S5/Spike S7 final episode-esque. Unless we're just saying people dying qualifies as tragedy, in which case Holland Manners needs to be on that list because I loved to hate that guy.

``Joss Whedon's insatiable bloodlust knows no bounds.``
I might get that on a teeshirt. ;)

I never really got into the Serenifly characters, and anyway saw the feature before I saw the show, but it's kind of like Larry and Anya; killing someone else off to show that it can happen and often does.
I wish I were more of an aestheic philosopher or trained critic. the fact that Willow-Tara and Wesley-Fred are arguably the most gut-wrenching relationships in the Buffyverse and that a principal actor in each are married in real life seems like it could be milked for a message of significance.

The Act corrupts Whiskey causing Claire Saunders to be cast out for the slime Clyde (co-founder of Rossum), delays the restoration of Caroline resulting in a trip to Rossum HQ and the loss of November, eventually destroys the mind of Topher, and kills Summer Glau.
