Suggestions on Challenge Mode Dungeons...

My bf and I recently started our own guild after a lot of unnecessary drama and cliqueness in our old guild that was leaking into our real life (along w reasons i wont discuss).  We had a few friends that were quite loyal and followed along w us in hopes of forming our raid team once again and storming through the vaults, the bugs, and kickin the Sha's butt, but unfortunately only 7 of us are capable of raiding.  We are hesitant to recruit after all the problems in our last guild even tho we all miss raiding so much.  We tried to join raid teams w another small guild who wanted to raid but didnt have enough raiders but on our first planned night they were all a no show...so guess thats a no go.  In order to appease a lil of our frustration from working so hard and now having nothing to do w raiding I suggested we run some challenge mode dungeons to help level our guild and give us that "raid" feel.  I knew they were tough, since I had tried one once before w a different guild of friends and it was a major disaster, but read up on them and hoped after a few wipes we would get them down.

Last night we tried Temple of the Jade Serpent as I felt it would be easiest to learning everything for our first time.  We wiped, a lot!  I feel like we are missing something...but after many many wipes, and gettting no medal we finally arrived at the Sha.  It was pathetic.  We'd get her down to 45 percent, but not kill our people kick enough so she'd heal back to 75 percent and then we'd all die.  And that was our best atempt! lol....So Im lookin for suggestions on challenge mode dungeons, on the temple of the jade serpent, on the boss fights, and especially on the Sha....HELP! :)

If it helps here was our makeup, our members dont have a lot of alts so we cant grab a Spriest, or switch out much other than me Im the only one w leveled geared alts that are even ready for heroics let alone challenge mode....(486 holy pally, 481 frost/arcane mage, 476 frost dk, and 475 resto/ele shammy).  Last night we had a 485 pally tank, a 487 enhanc shammy, a 473 arcane mage, my 486 holy pally, and a 484 ele shammy....I know it drops our ilvl but i heard it still keeps hit stats etc so I thought id give the ilvl for references.  I dps'd as much as possible on my holy pally cuz I read we shouldnt be using a healer but i was able to use holy power etc while dpsing, but I had to spend so much time healing the tank and some of the others that I barely could dps especially on boss fights.  at this point im not worried about medaling, I just wanna get a successful run through it and then work on beating our own time until we can get where we can medal....
