Being the sucker for punishment that I am, I used all the advice given in this thread except for respeccing - I determined I had some behavioral/practical issues that needed practice - Thunderstorm would have been cheating IMO until I'd learned my lesson regarding mana management.
I'm proud to say that tonight I made it to the midpoint of the gauntlet with 2 minutes to go. Being that close was the motivation to finally respec and work Thunderstorm into the equation. With no DPS changes hopefully I can imagine a drake within a few runs.

i was to the point where I was consistently able to hit the gauntlet with 2-4 minutes left, and would generally panic and do something silly at that point - so I bit the bullet and flasked the team up, and finished that run with 2 minutes to spare :) Now just need to do it 4 more times!
