I can tell you exactly what is happening.
Ranged DPS are standing in the back. Melee is standing up with the tanks. The tanks pull and you get a combination of tanks getting blood sapped and the melee/tanks getting charged and knocked down. While these two things are happening, healers are healing and ranged DPS are dropping AoE (since they didn't get stun/knockdown).
CC a tactician if you can. Otherwise make sure DPS holds until after the commander charge. One tank should get the tacticians and the other tank should get the rest. Ignore the tacticians until the end, kill the other stuff too.

Dispelling everything is VITAL as well. Particularly the curse. No dispels? Someone is gonna die.

Meh, our first time getting to the Blood Council involved exactly zero deaths on trash (on 10-man). I'm a mindless DPS, and all I can say is that we allowed the two tanks about 5 seconds to establish aggro before we focus-fired down one target at a time. Our first attempt on Blood Council didn't go so well.

All you have to do is to watch out for their abilitites.
- Tanks can be stunned, so watch out for aggro.
- There is a blood mirror spell that connects two players, it is dangerous if anyone is connected to the tank, needs healing.
- Tanks receive stacking dot, not dispelable.
- Tanks receive a curse. Dispel it, or mobs hitting the tank stack a magic dot on them. Both can be dispeled.
Rest of the spells are not dangerous, focus on aggro and dispeling, especialy the curse.

What are good tactics for it? Currently I'm pulling the trash (MT), the priests are trying to CC a couple of them, I usually get stunned within few seconds (losing threat almost immediately), then chaos seems to take over.
You know, that sounds as if you were the only tank in the group. So, what do the other tanks do when you are stunned? Smell daisies? Mine saronite outside ICC? You should have at least one more tank in there.
Druid tank are not resistant to the stun.
How do we kill the trash... hm. Well, healers heal, and stand pretty much wherever... DPS do DPS, tanks tank, and taunt anything that targets someone else... and someone dispels stuff? That would be it. A good thing is that all the trash mobs are undead, so you can chain Holy Wrath them with paladins. Stunning them for a while reduces the damage income a lot.

This is how we do it, and we rarely have casualties.
Shackle the Tacticians and (if you have enough priests) the Lich as well. We actually pull with a shackle (the starting priest gets a BoP from one of the paladins to protect him/her). The advantage of a shackle pull is that they are shackled on the spot where they stand (apart from the battle) so they cannot accidnetly get hit / unshackled.
After the shackle pull, the rest of the enemy group charges the raid where they are picked up by the tanks and killed. Please note that shackles usually break early, so the shackling priests should refresh their shackles at about 50% of its duration.
After killing the unshackled ones, you can just pick off the shackled enemies one by one. A bit slower perhaps than pulling them all at once, but a lot less painful.
