We cleared Naxx pretty late (Mid November), but from my past experiences, once we've killed KT, everything prior to Sapphion was automatic, even with a few new players in the raid. We'd have the...

He's no Void Reaver, but if you can get to him, you'll kill him in three hours tops. Even less once the strategy is released to the public. I'd classify it as free loot.

That's a moot point. If you are chain casting GH and overhealing on each and every single cast, something is wrong.

I wouldn't consider it out of the ordinary either. My guild runs 3 Shadow Priests and 2 Healing Shamans in our standard group. If a healer is absent, we sometimes take a third Resto Shaman.
