I'll address this part since I can actually do so.
We kill Lady Sacrolash first.
Pets should only be taking damage from AoE abilities and should never be the main target of the AoE abilities. In over 100+ pulls my pet has NEVER been the target of Flame Sear or Shadow Spawns. In fact the only damage my pet takes on this fight is from Shadow Nova (when he is near the targeted person), Conflag (again has to be near the targeted person), and Shadow Blades (when near Lady Sacrolash). Pet should be trained in avoidence: reducing damage from these AoE abilities by 50%. A quick glance at our last Twins kill wws shows that Pet's are immune to the Dark Touched and Flame Touched Debuffs (i.e. they do not get them), greatly reducing issues with healing them.
As for keeping them alive... My guild is fortunate in that we average 5 shaman a raid (4 resto, 1 ench for this fight) so pet heals tend to come from bounced Chain Heals among the melee. Mend pet can also keep a pet alive between Shadow Blades as 3 ticks @ 475 approximately equals the damage taken by the pet from SB.
