Some prot pala thoughts.

We stayed with 3 healers
Used the addon Garajal Announce (from Curse) and set it to prio best DOT/AOE for spirit world
Focused on
-healers doing dps for as long as possible at start
-grouping within 5yd of tanks for healing
-max use of tank & healer CDs to minimize damage to MT and therefore to the voodoo targets
-set up a 50 second (approx) chain of raidwalls to assist near end
-moving to totems immediately and killing them without delay
-took no totems after 25% (that last bit drops seriously quickly when you all stay out and dps)
-sacrifice the final tank to get banished (sorry Hal)
-tank calls when they are banished to alert dps to tank targets spawning

Ended up with a kill some 30 seconds ahead of the hard enrage, which is significantly better than 20+% HP that was left on the boss on the first few attempts when we hit enrage!
