With the amount of melee/hunters you have you should see a substantial boost in raid dps from that change.
That's interesting, never noticed he was so free to do DPS. Our main reason for 8 healers are just re-assurance of the healing on the tanks due to their odd death.

Also you can pull all three hunters out of your soaking groups to lower the amount of spell pushback they get. Seven soakers on each side is plenty, however if you get two burns in a row on one side you'll need someone to jump into that group else you risk losing people who have low stam.

You can also put a resto shaman in with your tanks, windfury for them will help our a lot with threat and shaman really don't need a SP for this fight.

Dropping fire elementals at the 2 minute mark will do about 100k damage with 4 shaman easily probably more.

Finally put up CoR on the boss, your physical dps will shoot way up, and if you can't find a 3rd lock to do that then get rid of CoE. Your mages may complain but your raid will thank you when you kill the boss.
The hunters were my main concern for DPS, it's great that you mentioned the push back from soaking. That's defo something which could be causing their DPS to be lower. They are not receiving the best utility at the mo either, maybe that could help quite a bit.

CoR and Fire Elementals are also something which would be great to encourage more.

Thanks for the input guys, i'm still interested if anyone notices anything else ! thx!
