Archimonde should be a fight where threat is not a concern, as DPS are almost always going to not have 100% activity. That being said, without the totem, it certainly COULD be a problem against some melee (especially glaived warriors... *shudder*).

PS: I'm assuming you're maximizing expertise for archimonde - as a bursty fight expertise should beat out avoidance straight up.

Are you having your DPS Warriors keep up Demo Shout for you? We run without Salvation on the melee here and threat or rage starvation has never been a problem. Having the DPS warriors assist with debuffing helps a lot, as does wearing some Expertise items - I've only ever died on this boss due to parry burst and minimizing that with expertise also helps reduce burst damage
