While our core group (especially the main tanks) are coming along for our weekly runs against Vashj and Kael, it is quite a dilemma: Bring the same group back each week until they are "farmable," or swap as many people out for vials as we can in order to move on with progression.

Generally a pala is considered more desirable than a druid both because of blessings and auras, and because GoW is rather "meh" in comparison to other supporting abilities. A druid however is unmatched in keeping the raid topped-up and supplying the tanks with a constant stream of healing that provides a nice buffer in case of trouble. Pala's on the other hand are better in healing spike damage fast. As for raid juggling, as a casual raiding guild we are doing it a lot, usually because we have no other choice but to invite everyone that has the time to raid and fulfil a certain main role.. eg healer or AOE or whatever. Well TBH, if under 10 tries you are still having trouble, it might be that either some of you are undergeared or someone is screwing up on the tactics. In any case I am sure that if you take a look at either recount or at the battle logs, you can locate easily who has been the breaking spot in your team and maybe juggle him out :D It also depends on how your groups are set up and on the auras used.

On our vashj attempts, we hardly switched people out, and we were doing the raid in extremely unoptimal means, such as having a warrior use his hitbox to hit the strider. If you want to get the boss down faster, you have to be mean, and not worry about stepping on peoples toes. If those that get replaced get mad and leave, well.. they won't survive past the ssc/tk level. (About to head out, just have time to post)
