Nobody is talking about killing the horror after the FIRST phase man. They're talking about leaving it up from the SECOND wave it spawns. You pretty much need to kill the horror in the first phase because absolutely nothing is up - as soon as the horror dies, you'll have enough ichors to push the first heart phase, so everyone kills it because "duh". What people are asking is if they can leave it up *during the second expose phase, knowing the boss will die during it*, rather than spend time cleaning it up. If you thought people were considering leaving the big one from first phase up I can understand your confusion, though. Nobody wants to lust first phase adds OR expose. It's second phase adds where you play catchup.
Also, slimes don't leave the blood on the ground. The horror does.
(As for going on about how we might approach the encounter on mythic, that's entirely fucking irrelevant - unlike the 20 man raid you were in that looks like it's filled with mains, *tons* of guilds are doing split raids with lesser geared alt characters, which means their DPS is going to be *miles* higher come mythic with a full main raid. You adjust tactics for *WHAT YOU HAVE*. not what you *WISH* you had. The only relevant thing right now is how to kill heroic with the most ease, and that is either A: Lust and kill in 1 expose phase if you've got the dps / are full mains, or B: Lust as soon as you get out of the expose phase and kill the two big tentacles to catch up before shit starts spawning).
