Another one bites the dust

So as many of you may or may not know, I lead the raids for the guild I'm a part of. We raid 3 days a week, 8 hours tops. Due to server troubles Sunday we've only got 4 hours this week though.
Shot #1:
Well a couple weeks ago we did 1 little lame attempt at Karathress and basically just survived for 3 minutes doing nothing. The priest got heals off... we just ran in our tracks until eventually a healer or two died and we wiped.
Enter yesterday. We zip through Leo's trash easily with only 3 deaths across all pulls and pull of a rather average Leo kill, but a 1 shot nonetheless. A few more deaths on the Colossus and we are ready to start some real attempts on Karathress.
Shot #2:
We are using the Shaman > Hunter > Priest route. I've made sure that everyone calls out when the dps target reaches 55% so that Curse of Tongues is up on the priest and the Warrior/Shaman combo over there is ready. The Shaman goes down without much trouble, but I lose one of my healers during the Spitfire kiting. One thing leads to another and we aren't able to kill the hunter due to a bunch of healers dead.
Shot #3:
Some repositioning is emphasized and we head in. Shaman dies easily. Priest gets off a heal on the Hunter, but thankfully we've got MS on the mob so we fight through it. Finally, the Priest dies with 5 minutes remaining. The rest is history.
Onward to Vashj (got to 60% after 2 attempts), the little casual guild that could
