This fight really seems like a great showcase for the raid buffs a ret brings to the table.

We still had a strong melee group. The main thing was trying to bring more casters over hunters. We've always raided with a dedicated "hunter group" built to maximize hunter synergy, but moved away from that partly due to mistaken views (based on the PTR) about hunter pets being a liability on this fight.
In short, I think that making sure your DPS classes are all in groups that maximize their synergistic potential is more important than stacking specific classes, period. For example, bringing a third 2200 DPS rogue sounds like a good idea on paper, but if it kicks the ret paladin out of the enhance/war/rog/rog/ret group, then it actually ends up being a raid DPS loss.
