Any ideas how to improve tank healing?

The last days we had ~150 trys on him and saw the enrage like 3 or 4 times. Some wipes were because of overaggro / meteor group dead etc.. but 9 out of 10 wipes were because of a tank's dead.

We run with 2 warriors as our tanks, who chainpot ironshield potions + nightmare seeds. We've tried using an affliction warlock, but it didn't help. The last two raids we didn't have a hunter aswell, so that's an additional 5% mitigation loss. On the other hand we had a 5% wipe due to enrage timer without having a hunter for the debuff in the raid and the tanks survived just fine.

We have 2 priests + 2 palas spamming heal on the tank + 1 (or 2 - depending on setup) shamy(s) spamming chainheal on the MT aswell (+ healing meteor group). 2 druids are healing burn and they through some hots on the tank if they have a spare second for it.

It's not the transition, that is killing our tanks, neither is it a manaproblem of our healers... Is it just bad luck after stomp or are we missing something?

We use amplify magic on our tanks and dropped from 8 to 7 healers due to the enrage timer. We can't make it otherwise, we lack some dps. Our tanks have full BT gear.

Any help would be appreciated.
