A little contribution:
We used a 2 tank, 7 healer and 6 soaker(including tank) setup.
Also we used a pretty common raiding setup, could have swapped a random for another destro lock though.
Soaking groups consisted of:
3 mages + spriest + shaman
spriest + 4 healers

Slash #1: 20000/6 = 3333 damage
Slash #2: 20000/6*1.75 = 5833 damage
Slash #3: 20000/6*2.5 = 8333 damage
A Bad Slash #4: 20000/6*3.25 = 10833 damage

Several goodies:
Shadowpriests are, with Vampiric Embrace, insanely good for soaker healing.
25% of roughly 1400 DPS means 350 HP/Second/Target.

The shaman in the soaking group is advised to use a healing stream totem.
170 HP/Tick/Target sums itself up.

Those 2 combined in the mage group give ~870 HP/Tick.
In a 40 seconds tanking rotation this sums itself up to 17400 healed - per person.

Downside of 6 soakers? Have 1, in the worst case 2 backups ready for soaking in case someone of the primary soakers gets a burn.

As for class usability:
Arms warriors with blood frenzy basically contribute 400+ DPS.
Our arms warriors found this lockouts kill kinda depressing though, needing to stack up with some more expertise first to counter some rage starvation.
Ret paladins are a pretty nice buffer aswell.
