So after playing with chardev.org and having some wonky errors with a couple of the sample characters, I tried Rawr, and I'm liking the numbers I'm getting there. I came up with the following fully raid buffed stats. I will use the following breakdown to create a table including the final net gain from raid buffs. The buffs included are as follows and assumed equal for all tanks:
