When gas nova started casting, I would press the button for macro 1, then immediately start mashing the button for macro 2. The second macro casts mass dispel centred on my location (actually about 10 feet above my location). This removes pretty much all of my fatness and I was able to consistently cast mass dispel before the ticks.
There are a few points to note about the macro:
1) Due to the casting spot being about 10 feet above my head, I lose a couple of yards of range at ground level. My dispel targets just stood slightly closer to me to eliminate this problem.
2) It only works if you are casting mass dispel centred on yourself. It is possible to change the offset to cast it elsewhere relative to yourself (e.g. for a priest mass dispelling melee targets) but I didn't need to mess around with this.
3) You can aggro Felmyst if you test this out before the fight while he is right overhead!
4) The macro doesn't usually work indoors, or in some other places like in the middle of Shattrath. I don't know why this is the case, but it works fine in the Felmyst fight area.

1) Never had this problem
2) It casts the macro with coordinates in minimap "pixels". On largest zoom out its 3.3 yard for every point
3) As with every MD
4) This macro works like minimap ping. It might or might not work in every spot where there is more then 1 "layer" of terrain. To make a simple example. If you stand on a bridge and cast it, there is a chance (thats actually hard to determine, 1st hand experience works best) that in that particular spot it will try to cast it underneath (since you dont control the "z coordinate"). Obviously out of los and it will fail. However felmyst "room" works fine.
You can also make single macro like i did for our priests (as far as i know they dont really use it anymore, but still its handy if anyone has problems with MD)
/stopcasting [harm]
/cast Mass Dispel
/run Minimap:PingLocation(0,0)
/target self
Basically this macro will only stop casting if you target a hostile object, and it will target yourself after its run once. Use it in conjuction with POH (no coh since it can trigger a gcd for MD, we found it safer to just have our priests use POH in this phase and be perfect on MD, then try to coh, get caught in gcd during nova etc. Shamans can handle "priestless" groups just fine. So use poh to keep your group up while targetting felmyst, then mash the macro when gas nova is casting.
Also on the subject of corrosion. Its a cast time, it resets his swing timer. Basically its matter of having good healers who can time a big heal to heal up initial spike.
