Just because you don't need it doesn't mean it won't help. The fight has a soft enrage timer via curses - having a few of the decursers equip few pieces of shadow resistance won't have a dramatic impact on raidwide DPS. Assuming you run 15 dps and 3 mages with 3 slots of shadow resistance that ends up being 9 out of 240 item slots, equivalent to approximately 4% of raid dps item slots assigned to resist gear. Considering mages have less dps time than other DPS classes (and the loss of a mage can be quite critical here), I'd pose the question another way:
Do you need your mages not to wear shadow resistance? If not, it can probably shorten learning curve (even if arcane resist might be better, but that's another argument there). Just because your healers *should* be able to heal through it doesn't mean it won't help to
