Here is what I sent my raid and what ultimately helped us get going in the maze. Once you are in it, it is pretty easy. We also found that people who had trouble could use the path in the back and have a much easier time.
I did some reading and found a good explanation and graphic of how this works.
The Graphic:

-Ignore the ice walls, they are heroic and you just have to dps them to break them, which means we need to know how this works and be comfortable enough in the maze to dps those walls by the time we hit heroic. Yay!
A quick explanation:
-The purple crackle we stand in, is the last part of the arena to fill.
-The beam always starts at the entrance
-The arena fills like an 8 slice pizza, 1 slice at a time, starting on the opposite side of the beam from the crackle
-Purple Crackle = Slices 7 & 8
-We stand in slice 8 until slice 7 spawns, then we move into the gaps, then slice 8 fills and we start following the maze
-Our problem on our attempts was standing in slice 7 and just trying to guess where the safe spots will be.
