First, I went full avoidance; lowering my stamina, crippling my hit (and to a lesser extent, my expertise). Coming from a heavy Effective Health background, this was hard, but it made a huge difference.

Pre-pull, I asked for a fear ward so I could build threat through the initial fear, and that gave me enough of a lead I could stop using all GCD abilities as soon as the cooldown was up on every fear after, and just camp my stance dance macro. My threat dropped during those times, but the DPS was so busy running around that they were never capped. Also, I tried to stop auto-attacking following the fear, to prevent parry-hasted attacks.
