Ironically, the Void Walker was the only pet I didn't try at some point during the instance. I've heard second-hand that his ability to hold aggro drops off after 40, but I haven't tested it personally. Recently I've been using the Felhunter and Imp msot of the time. The Felhunter's Tainted Blood debuff is pretty significant (can stack up to an Attack Power reduction of 115 on mine), but it can't hold aggro worth a damn which lessens the effectiveness of the skill (the only thing stopping it from being my favourite pet).
I rarely use Rain of Fire unless I know the monsters have a lot of aggro on another target that wont break. The damage is low, and I figure it will just make the monsters mad at me.
Hellfire is a favourite spell of mine, but it has to be used *very* selectively (usually just for non-elite swarms like the scorpions in Uldaman). Against elites, it simply isn't worth it most of the time.
Back to the priests...
In the case of a wipe, Priests shouldn't be in hurry to use the soul stone if everyone else is dead. Wait to check if the coast is clear, and any monsters that were aggroed have lost interest. The priest in Uldaman soul rezzed several times only to get killed again, forcing a corpse run. We were lucky to have two warlocks in the party, because our priest was dying faster than the 30 minute cool down on our soul stones.
