I've done this fight as Disc, 2 heal and 3 heal in 10 man successfully. I found holy to burn through mana faster than disc due to not always being able to be in the right chakra state. raid bubble timed right as the shadow orb is absorbed is awesome, as is inner fire+ smite spam for dealing with the shadow AOE. Always having POM up of course, standard stuff. Overall I had a much easier time with mana than any other healer as disc, however as holy I was lagging behind the other healers. 2 healing was easier in some ways than 3 healing IMO. Making sure to roll mana CDs early and fast is a good idea (I have a mana trinket and BElf racial every 2 min). As an alchemist the mana pot was good enough, although I did successfully use a potion of concentration without wiping the raid once while 2 healing: just make sure you warn the other healer. Finally, if there are other priests (shadow ideally) then syncing HoH is excellent.

Also, I found that the unglyphed fear was often better than glyphed. If you feared them, they run around for a bit, but if they're stuck in place they often eat a shadow crash, get corruption, and take the damage. Either way though dispell it ASAP. It's a dps race after all.
