About the only thing that I can suggest, Cider, is frenzied regen. Other than that, though, I have no clue on what you could do to try and save it.

Need to finish up the site to really get back in the swing of things. Here's my observation after taking more time at Feral tanking:

You can see the train wreck coming but you can't do anything about it. There's no shield block to save you from those last trash mobs alive after your party has wiped. There's no Mocking Blow when you're silenced or when your other abilities are on cooldown. There's no Last Stand or Shield Wall.

If you see yourself trending towards death, you die.

This is a little bit exaggerated as I'm still able to pop off a heal at my level in a really dire situation, and I know there are special macros at later levels, but that's my current feeling on it.
One of the biggest reasons why I prefer tanking on my warrior.

Heh...funny to read this. Last night, on the final pull in Ulda where I was the last person standing and there were 3 mobs left (on my priest for those of you who weren't there), I found myself instinctively reaching for Last Stand and Sheild Wall....heh...and why aren't these priest talents too ?

Bash or swing time -> Barkskin -> Dire bear form.

Pop Moroes Pocket Watch and badge of tenacity for the extra 32% dodge.

Plugpull and hope you get removed from the instance before you die?

It would be pretty cool to Rebirth your healer too...

It's got a 2 second cast time.
You might be able to Warstomp/Bash into a Rebirth.
Otherwise, Barkskin into Rebirth should work as well.

I've never done this... but it should work theoretically, eh?

We've had some bears do this in raids.

We had a bear actually do it while MTing Shahraz...
