Ahh see, thats something I didn't really know. I had assumed the Beacon could clean up the Executioners on it's own. Don't really have any experience with how effective Beacons are in Heroic. So that is good knowledge to have. It's possible that on the portals where I have it scheduled for a beacon to be dropped that the group can help clear up the Executioners. There is generally a slight pause after a Rift Lord spawns before adds start coming out. So may be a little time to help clear then. All this will make it even harder for the MH to drink though.
Overall I am leaning towards the option you gave. My option I feel like might work, but that so much is going on in it that its more likely to cause issues than really help things. So the best bet is to just look into gear upgrades for Add Handlers and focus on trying to make it through Temporus. That seems to be the main key. If you can make it through Temporus then the rest should be doable.
This has been helpful though in that I've got a basic working strategy and learned a few things (beacon effectiveness etc).
