Toasty Fire is far more important than Starlight for ranged. Not only does more people stack Singed a lot quicker, but not having to move more or less makes up for the 50% haste from Starlight. The most important thing about Storm Power is that it should be spread quickly - yes, it benefits casters more, but realistically being pre-clumped or leaping into the nearest clump of players is the best thing to do. Definitely recommend a paladin or DK tank to keep threat.
I've heard that breaking out only the mages works for some people. Every time I've done it, we've broken out all of them except the priests, since they're the only NPCs that don't provide a damage buff.
Lastly, consider raid-compositional adjustments. You don't need, for example, seven healers on this fight. It's been done with two, and is routinely done with four healers by most guilds that already have it.
