There are three important things in this fight on heroic:
- Dispel the stacking magic debuff from everyone. Any DPS who can dispel should help out by at least dispelling themselves.
- Interrupt his Molten Blast casts or he'll gain Molten Core, dealing more damage than is healable.
- Kill the adds that spawn. This is best done by ranged party members due to all the fire in the room.

Interrupting his molten blast cast on heroic is pretty key to getting the fight done. Set up an interrupt rotation.
Also...
Pray you never get a group with all melee. I just did as a healer. It was painful. We couldn't even down him because no one else could dispel themselves and I was going oom. >.<
