How to tank Priestess Azil?

This will probably sound weird, but yeah, 3 or 4 wipes on this .... witch, and I'm looking to avoid a repeat.
I've tanked her twice without incident, but this last one, whoo boy.
Healer died first every time, mostly from adds.
It didn't help that he tended to run around all over the place when they went for him, but really, I can only thunderclap so often, and shockwave even less so.
I know that they're supposed to be killed with the gravity wells, but picking them off of him and leading them in while holding threat on Azil seems a bit much.
Is this just really tough for warriors with our limited AoE? I have the impression this would be much easier on a DK, and very simple with a paladin.
Was the healer doing something wrong?
Am I missing an ability or strategy to keep them on me?
Any thoughts?

The healer should place him/herself behind a void zones, then the adds will run in and suicide on the void zones. You really shouldn't have to worry about the adds until maybe when she starts throwing the boulders since the void zones might have gotten pretty small by then. But the void zones aren't that deadly so the healer can just run into or close to one and get rid of most of the adds, since all you can do is pretty much just shockwave them at that stage. Just don't stand still to much if you need to deal with the adds during that phase since they can hide the graphic of the landing spots of the boulders.

What masti said. That is one of those fights where the healer has a job in addition to healing, they cannot just stand there and expect the tank to pick up all the adds, no matter what class of tank it is. You just need to watch if there are a few adds that didn't get sucked into a void zone, grab them so they aren't beating on the healer.

Dang, that'll be a fun one to explain if it happens again.

limited?
TC
SW
B&T
cleave
challenging shout
fear
HL
PH
how much more do you want?
but yeah, you're not supposed to deal with every single add yourself - the healer should be taking care of a lot of them.

TC, SW, and HL are really the only ones that help there because of the number of adds. The shouts either do minimal amounts of threat or none at all. And TC and HL both have a long enough CD that you can only use em once or twice for the trash waves.
you are only going to need them once or twice.
PH is not used for threat.
challenging shout has no target limit...
