One thing that bugs me is the amount of work needed to just get to final phase; the site is in the back of beyond, and you have to deal with some pretty nasty trash to get in, and then complete the first phase in the room. The only saving grace is the doorstep, where you can repair and recuperate between tries.

I've never been top of the healing charts in real raids. I am occasionally so in LFR, but I suspect my rotation is quite sub-optimal. However, I do have the persistence needed to outgear most other players (I've been maxing out VP every week for months). 

It's things like this that force me to sit down and re-evaluate how I play. I expect I'll get it eventually, and then be able to carry those skills into multi-player.

Yes, that's how I've always done it - up the stairs, left before Nalak. It's still a royal PITA, and is followed by a rather painful set of trash, then the annoying first phase. But by the time I've failed 2-3 times, I start losing patience and eventually hearth out.
