So is there anything that can help our healers except putting a focus frame on felmyst to make sure they heal the encapsulated target and his group fast enough. Because raid warnings seem to come way too late, vent has a small delay and it's pretty easy to miss the 0.5 sec switch to the encapsulated person when you're healing someone else.

We found out, that healing through the entire group with encapsulate not only helps in avoiding a fast following gas nova, but trivializes the whole phase1, though this requires a bit of stacking.
First of all, every healer should whitelist "encapsulate" in their unitframe. Then build 4 groups and one melee group positioned that if one of the groups gets an encapsulate it does not blow up another group.
Then you get at least two circle of healing priestes (three make it safer if one of the CoH priests gets the encapsulate, the third one can be PoH, but Divine Spirit is useless anyway stick to CoH). Two shadowpriests at least for Mass Dispell, three is nicer, so the holy priests can concentrate on their group. Anyway, put each CoH priest on a dedicated group, put one shaman on group healing for their distinct group and you are set.
If encapsulate hits, the holy priests spam the target with CoH, until Chainheal starts to kick in and tops the group. If the maintank gets encapsulated, just heal the meele group. No one should move in phase 1.
The only problem, as said before, is to have enough priests online, on the other hand, after this phase 1 is a non issue.
