I imagine that aggro could be an issue. Obviously, the raid would need to be told to not use Mind Blast during Phase 1 and 3. The thing is that when Onyxia does her Wing Buffet, she reduces the aggro of the main tank, and if the priest tank runs out of mana and can't build up aggro again, that could hurt. I suppose the raid could be told to use wands only during phase 1 and that the healers could be put in rotations to make sure that no one person heals the tank too much. In phase 3, the Alliance priests would have a major advantage in that they could use Fear Ward to ensure that the tank stays unfeared. WotF has a two minute cooldown and the PvP trinket has a 5 minute cooldown, so that means the Horde would be dealing with a lot of fears. Hm, come to think of it, how did the druid team deal with this? I guess the fears don't last as long as they used to, but still that does mean that Onyxia gets turned quite often.
How did you guys manage aggro in Phase 1 with the priest tanking?
