Diminishing returns.

Ah... Through good comunications we have got it to work. First time it took like 20 tryes to get them down but the second time was one wipe and then no problem. Everyone was doing their jobb with purge, CC and dispells. And somehow we manage to move around the CC so DR doesn't become a problem. But you have to have people ready to wipe a few times.
Dazed:
It can be totally random depending on what comp you get, especially in 10. You can get rogue/dk/moonkin/warlock/paladin/priest and pretty much just play horribly and still win, then the next week get ret paladin/warrior/Rdruid/Rshaman/Hunter/Spriest, play amazingly and still get unmercifully RNGfucked.

This is key. It's the very beginning of the fight that's the most viciously RNG prone, and not all classes have CC abilities that overlap with each other, so in some cases you can almost completely lock down a target until one of the other nasties is burned down. Once you've knocked down one or two of the most dangerous targets you can afford to be much less organized on the rest of the fight provided you haven't lost a key healer, so the communication and Diminishing Returns thing isn't really as big of a problem as you might think provided you've got a sound plan to begin with.
For example, if my raid gets a Holy Paladin and a Resto Druid, typically we'll burn the tree first since the hots are a pain to dispel and cannot be interrupted. Meanwhile I would team up with a druid to keep the Holy Paladin locked down at least until the tree is dead. Basically, the druid spams cyclone until immune at which point I peel off from the burn target and interrupt/stun/gouge them for the 15 seconds cyclone isn't a viable option. You don't have to be perfect on it; letting a few Flash of Lights through won't be the end of the world. You just need to have a partner whose CC you can't clip and keep the 15 second windows in mind.

Our tactic goes somehting like...
"Mel you charge in and fearbomb, then lockdown the shaman while DPS tunnel the priest"
We kill the priest then wipe.
It is alot like arena, full penances through gagging order shield bashes, disarm not working before bladestorm, GCD's feeling like they are 8 minutes long...
