At times it seemed that clearing DT through Blaze would barely help, as images would instantly stack it to double digits on same person - I guess that's normal?

We set it up like this:
Two tanks at the top of the ramp tanking Sacrolash are being healed by a druid and 2 paladins scattered around the ramp. A priest at the bottom of the ramp is responsible for keeping those 3 healers alive, as well as himself. He is in line of sight of the rest of the raid though, so he can still get hit by others if he dips too low. We found a priest to be most effective for this because of Prayer of Mending being able to bounce around perfectly.
Even with shadow resist you'll still be stunned from Shadowfury, and you'll still take stacks of Dark Touched. All four healers are responsible for taking a dip into the Warlock tanks blaze to clear their shadow debuffs (generally they'll clear them anywhere from 6-10, depending on a number of things).
I am the priest who does the healing at the bottom of the ramp in our strategy. It's pretty intense and with shadow resist & PVP trinket on I need to use my shadowfiend and a mana pot. I generally don't do much healing in phase 2 due to mana but I have shadow resist on and theres a bunch of other healers who don't.
