I've done it as holy (in my previous guild) like this:
-tank gear on
-after quake, I'd heal up the raid (other healers only heal me and MT at this time) with RF to get aggro
-once murlocs came, I'd continue healing, having a designated healer on me to keep me up, while warlocks seeded the murlocs (as many as they can)
-mages would cast flamestrike simultaneously, making the seeds go off - at this point I'd loose aggro and the murlocs would be kited by the warlocks / mages till death (not long)

Now I'm in a new guild and am prot, the second in the tank lineup. I plan to do the same to get aggro (heal the raid after the quake), then consecrate and holy shield to keep them on me, after a while the locks and mages would aoe (hopefully with me having enough aggro to keep them on me).

Any suggestions / hints?

Oh and is it possible to macro divine shield so you use it and cancle it with 1 macro? Tried but couldn't get it right (could be very usefull if I get graved).

depends on your threat generation, i have 410 spell damage and maintain about 1000 tps on aoe targets so warlocks and mages cannot take the threat away from me, generaly i call the aoe about 4-6 seconds worth of concencrations after they get to me. argent defender is great for getting stragglers, and try to get a shadow priest in your group you will need the mana if you are using your spells right, cast heals till they get to you, and remeber having concencrate up is more important than anything else. then shield block, and on aoe mobs i use JOW and SOW cause mana regen in melee actualy causes a good deal of threat.
