It's definitely possible to keep CC locked down on multiple targets while tanking the others. My suggestions are as follows:

- Use the tank as the "main" character who everyone else follows.
- Bind separate focus buttons for each of the 3 CC'ers and a separate key for each of their CC spells (banish/poly). This way, you can target a mob with the main, make that the focus for warlock1, target something else with the main and make it the focus of warlock2, and target a 3rd thing with the main and make it the focus of the mage.

I use the Number Keypad to do this. 1,2, and 3 set the focuses for my 3 CC'ers, and 4,5,and 6 are my CC spells. Once my targets are set, I quickly hit 4,5,6 and pull with the tank. If 1 mob comes out of CC, you can cast that spell with 1 button (for ease of use you might want to make it set a raid icon when creating a focus so that you can better see)

- And finally, you just need to bind healing spells for specific players. What I mean is, have a key for Renewing Character1, Greater Healing Character1, and Flash Healing Character1.... for each character. I bind all of these to my Nostromo n52 pad. Makes it easy to heal all my targets individually.
