The difficulty of HoT is being blown way out of proportion. Venerate has a large number of raiders below 56 and we do HoT just fine.
The challenge for this raid will be a few things:
1. Capable puller
2. Tank(s) with reasonable gear that know how to lead a push.
3. Cleric that can organize a CH chain / timings.
4. Torpor shaman for the ramp tank.
5. Enchanter that can drain caster mobs.
Resists are great, but there's no reason a melee has to die to AEs. If the healing is somewhat light, a low health melee just chills with the casters until topped off. Depending on how many bards show up, make sure your tank has max dmg shield -- mana song for the CH chain is great if it's available.
Good luck if you decide to do it.
