I don't see a need for any more haste or mp5 so that leaves crit as the best stat to increase w/o losing haste.

For FoL spam, there is no benefit to more haste once you have FoL down to
1 GCD = 1 sec [cast time] = 676 haste [raid buffed].
At that point you have throughput capped yourself via Haste [using FoL only].
Crit would be the only 'choosable' stat that you would have left to increase your throughput.
MP5 will help with regen which you already admit you dont need.
And you would have already maxed your SP with gear/gemming/chanting.
That being said, if you can keep your tanks alive through FoL spam, then you dont need anything more gear wise.
If your tanks are dieing and you need more throughput, switching to HL spam is the easiest way to increase ( massively ) your throughput. But then, you might suddenly find yourself with a drastic lack of mana.
I couldn't find any parses from your guild, if you have them, that would certainly help us understand why you are losing people ( which is the reason I assume you are looking for guidance on improving your gear selection ).
So I guess my recomendation would be, if you need more throughput and are mostly FoL spamming, cast more HL and see where that leaves you. If that leaves you with 2 tanks who are alive until you run OOM, then you need more MP5 or start gemming for INT.
I have to admit I am impressed that you can make it through Festergut+90% phase with FoL Spam and a 28k mana pool. At ~40k mana, I dump almost my entire mana pool chain casting HL with a speed pot and wings.
