As far as cludges, soullink (sac'd or not), twilight ward, and sburning adds for embers to blood tap should be more than enough - I keep twilight ward for the times when I need to blitz through an orb to make it to soak someone elses area - with that and a blood tap, I can soak ~3 in a row without heals - even in progression gear you should make it to at least 2 without dying.
How many healers are you running? My 10m normally runs three, my 25m is more like 5-6 I think, but since I don't heal in 25, I can't say I have paid too much attention.
