If you got him to 35% with only the tank and the hunter damaging him,
you could have had him killed in the same period of time quite likely
if your rogue had also been attacking him instead of the adds.
Possibly even quicker.

Might be, but he does this nasty spin from time to time, doing good
damage. Not a perfect fight for a rogue as I'm getting hit quite often
and require heals.
Our Paladin would never get the adds down in time. Do they vanish when
the boss is down? Maybe it's enough if he keeps them busy during the fight.

Once the boss is down they run away and presumably de spawn once they
get far enough away.

Were you taking many heals while dealing with the adds?

I got healed twice, not so much because of the adds but because the boss
came rushing in and hit me a few times from behind (impossible I got
aggro). I'm pretty sure I wasn't wasting much mana from the healer, that
must have gone elsewhere. As I had my back to the boss fight I couldn't
really see what's going on. I killed 7 or 8 adds before we wiped, and we
did not aggro the elite guys in the hallway.

I've only been there as a shadow priest and as a holy priest, so I
don't know what general melee abilities the boss has. But unless he
has a cleave that can hit you while you stand behind him, you'll still
only be getting hit when he whirlwinds whether you're on adds or
dps'ing him. Well, you might be able to avoid some of the whirlwinds
standing on the stairs taking on the adds, but he won't whirlwind as
many times if you're there dps'ing him as he'll be dead sooner. As a
priest, I've never gotten hit enough times by his whirlwind to kill me
if my life is basically max at the start, so I can't see a rogue
having much more worries. If the two holy pallies are a standard
thing, have one healing the tank and the other to throw a heal your
way after/during the whirlwind before going back to the adds.

Alternatively, you could try one of the Pallies dps'ing and have the
hunter on the adds with their pet, and shooting the boss between adds.
