The lesson here is that there are many ways to do this fight. With the cleave fix, that is no longer an option. As a hunter, I was actually trying out dpsing each leg when it came up but saving all procs for when I was next to the leg and I was doing over 80k dps sustained as surv and was only a couple % behind our cleaving warrior who was doing 120k dps. Our less-skilled hunter was maxing at 66k and couldn't seem to figure out how to increase his dps.
The first week, we had 2 heals, 2 tanks. We kept the stacks 15-20 and kited with the tanks and 1 healer and 1 dps who healed himself when he kited. The monk healer ranked #1 US on WoL and kept the raid up himself.
Without a monk this week, we are 2% behind the enrage. We will probably try having only melee on legs or maybe me as well since I seem to have figured out how to effectively do that role. Problem is, the hunter that was doing 66k was not exceeding that regardless of his spec or what he was dpsing. Normally, he's much more than that.
