Your raid is going to continue to take aoe damage while your priests are sitting there waiting, which is OK as long as you have a contingency plan to cover for their healing.
I agree with the person who said the difficulty level varies an awful lot between attempts. Our quickest wipe resulted from one of our Mass Dispelling priests got an Encap (he was situated in his group that he was dispelling), which was immediately followed by a Gas Nova, it wasn't pretty. We also had an attempt where she didn't do an Encap or Nova for an entire phase.

And i'v never seen such thing in 4 days of tries. Its always 1 or 2 encapsulates, always gas nova cast in a few seconds after cd ends. I guess, we both have anecdotal evidence here. Also maybe it's a bug? Link wws please. Just assign dedicated healer (other than dispeller) for each dispell group. It's very easy to heal aoe aura with chain heals or CoH. Also, from our logs minimum time between encapsulate end and gas nova is 3 sec. It''s enough.
