Using demon helped a little (we beat him finally) over affliction, but only when the RNG was in my favor and I'd get the Molton Core proc.

the thing i like about destro for it is that you can save your CDs (coflag + CB) from the 10second to beasts point. we all know about destro burst and having all spells off cooldown for each beast makes them incredibly easy. i'd almost go as far as to say that if you have to actually kite them then you're doing it wrong. they should ideally die before they reach anyone.

Affliction works fine, especially with 3 ranged DPS as you had. Laying down a port away from where you're standing is critical for kiting. What you should do is have your healers in the middle, the destro lock on one side (with conflag snare, port, burst and shadowfury he should have no trouble soloing one), and you and the hunter on the other side. Basically a single corruption dot on both beasts will help out the hunter and the destro lock enough. Hunters also are very good for soloing the beasts (trap, FD, concussive shot, disengage, etc) - gear is not an excuse. I usually just corruption the adds and just focus on the both. If you do have to kill adds as affliction, Corruption and shadow bolt spam is fine. I have a focus haunt macro so I can keep my corruption and shadow embrace rolling on the boss without switching targets.

If your both the same spec and same gear you could yo-yo the mob between you.

I usually load up a full rotation on the blood beast, port away when it gets too close and it's usually dead by this time with another ranged DPS helping out.
It can also help if your tank stuns the add on your side, providing you get enough aggro on it by the time the stun ends it will not hit any melee, and those extra seconds help with getting it down.

Affliction is fine. Have hunter and another lock nuke 1 add, you take another. When add comes close to you - hunter taunts the add and you finish it up.
It also helps if you have somebody (paladin, prot war) who can stun the add - in that case you should be able to just solo the mob before it reaches you.
What you described is not "affliction is fine", that is "the raid can make up for the shortcomings of affliction".
I'm affliction/demon, and I also get "carried" through this encounter by helping DPS but not being a real asset to it during the blood beasts...that does not mean that it's the right spec for the occasion.
