Most of the Azgalor strats out there note that all the melee and doom-tanking classes need to run in and hit him just once at the start of the fight. We knew this going in our first time, and it's especially important to do if you're giving T6 priority to your regular tanks. Just do it at the start before any doom, and make sure everyone knows what you're doing so that they can avoid chaining fires across the raid.
For anyone checking this at a later date, the mats requirements for these items have been changed. (The Sunfire set now requires equal amounts of spellcloth and shadowcloth and no primals, for instance.) Check Wowhead for the latest.
Really great advice in these comments so far, so I'll just echo some of the previous posters: after we killed Vashj, our raid immediately dropped everything we could to get Kael down (on any night where we had the group to do it). Not trying to clear SSC every week while also clearing TK gave us much more time to actually focus on Kael, which really pays off. All the rumors about the first few Hyjal and BT bosses are true: they really ARE much easier!
