I think we had 3 tanks on Kel, but since we normally lost at least one to single target frostbolt quite early, we did not manage to do proper tank swaps too many times. Also, somehow DPS managed to pull aggro even on no DPS try, but I assume it's because we do not understand the aggro limits/reductions yet properly.
Frost blast on melee was an another problem. We have everyone spread around Kel like on C'Thun. Are guilds moving all melee except tanks/interrupters away when frost blast warning comes, and then move in after blast has happened? We lost often melee interrupters to frost blast, and even if they survived, MT got single bolted to death during the time they were stunned. Also, are you saving mage counterspell for the mind control, or use it on helping the interruptions on Kel (might be wrong info that it even works, but I think some of our mage said it does)?
How much frost resistance are people using on tanks and on DPS? I think we did not use anything because of the needed DPS on p1 (and p3 in future), except one of the main tanks tested with around 100 unbuffed FrR with quite good results.

As far as Mind Controls are concerned, they appear to be a raid wide aggro clear (think Noth's Blink). So, having a tank just shieldslam after a MC will grant him aggro. Obviously you need your DPS to slow down after MC is available (45s cooldown). I'm assuming your DPS that is pulling aggro is probably after an MC, and because of DoTs or spells midflight.
For Interrupting single target frost bolts, we simply put 2 melee on a 3 pair rotation, (Interrupt #1, Interrupt #2, Interrupt #3) saving counterspell for Interrupts during Frost Blasts (where we have melee spread out) and MCs. You need to have people topped off before every single frost blast, so that a single heal/shield will keep them up if needed.
We do not use frost resist on tanks or DPS, however since sapphiron we have been able to run pretty priest heavy.
Hope this helps.
