If you keep trying enough, you might get a kill from a try that has several delayed portals, or simply that people did not enter their assigned portals, but the rotation really doesn't end up working in the long run.
I would recommend groups of 1 tank, 3 healers, 1 decurser entering on portal number 1, 3 and 5 and then individually entering as soon as they lose the debuff. If you have more than 3 decursers, prioritize the extra ones in the groups entering portal 5 and 3 since that prevents getting owned by random ports on decursers.
As for the dpsers, it really doesn't matter all that much. On one hand you might want dps to enter early since demon generally goes down later than dragon otherwise, but on the other hand more dpsers outside means less early random ports on the late healers.

This is false. We just beat him last night with the 4 group rotation and it works flawlessly. The key is making sure that nobody in the first 4 groups misses a portal and that your 2nd tank is one of the first ones to enter the first portal. He then gets back before the 4th portal spawns and is able to taunt allowing the first tank to get into the 4th portal as well. After that you have to wait 60 seconds before anyone is able to port up again but the lapse doesn't cause any issues. Once the 1st group that ported up loses their debuff he instantly casts the portal on them and then it's a constant portal rotation. After that the 4 group rotation is set and there are always equal numbers in both rooms for the most part. Using the 4 group rotation it is very important for everyone to get into the 4 portals and for nobody to need a 5th portal or it will really mess you up.
The hard part for the 4 group rotation is at right before the 4th portal you are going to have only 1 healer on the dragon tank and 1 group healer until the first group ports back. The healers in the first group then have to target the dragon tank immediately and keep him up since they will then be the only 2 healers on him until more port back. This point of the fight is considered the hardest and once you get past the 4th portal the fight becomes easy mode as long as people don't miss decurses or portals.
