Targeting about 150 fire resistance for your raid is good. While you're learning the encounter, PoH is good to use (cast PW:Shield on yourself first to not get stuttered so much). Eventually, the priests can use Holy Nova if they want to if they are in groups willing to bunch up near Vael, but I wouldn't bother with that while your raid is learning the encounter. Priests shouldn't have to spam PoH either. I throw out a heal or holy smite or two in between each one.
Regarding dps, it's all warriors and rogues. Mages and hunters basically stink in this fight. The biggest contribution they make is in being chosen for burning adrenaline rather than the priests. Harsh but true. Back when mages could only make four waters at a time, some of our mages would make water during the fight so that they were ready to hand out stacks of water to people before the clear to the Broodlord.
