Here is my tried and true strategy with Phase 2 with 2 paladins in the party, which happens alot because I run with my guilds best tank who happens to be a pally tank.
After AoD is done casting I pop my Holy Wrath and announce it. Immediately after the stun is up my tank pops his, by that time he pulls the aggro all back to him and most of the ghouls are dead. its simple and effective

Black Knight starts casting AoTD
Wait for almost all of them to be up.
Cast Consecration
Mobs activate.
Target Priest
Cast Hand of Protection
Cast Holy Wrath
All mobs should be hitting you at this point.

I'm assuming AoD can't be interrupted? :P
But yeah, I've heard stories about two DKs whipping out their Armies too and watching them all go at them. The tank and the rest of the group just moved from the ghoul corpses and worked on the Black Knight out of CE range.
I haven't had a chance to run the new instance at all, so hopefully this weekend I'll get time =)

You don't move away from the corpses, he only blows them up if they're alive. The corpses despawn instantly.
Frankly, both times I've run this was with guildies so I can't say I understand fully what the problem is. It's just as easy as all the other heroics :P
Maybe dispelling is an issue when you're undergeared, but so is the first boss of H:OK and his disease.

Actually I've ran this on several occasions.
On my hunter, we didn't finish it because we couldn't kill the Black Knight. We got to the 2nd phase and his army kept blowing up and killing the tank and everyone else. We failed like 5 times. The tank was well geared and so was the heals. I didn't know what went wrong. I guess people likes explosions :)
I ran another one later with my ret pally and only did the Black Knight because the fail group before coudn't finish him off. I was like, "whatever, lets just finish it", because it was late. Needless to say all the other melee die to the explosion and we wipe again. So we come back we beat him, 3rd phase, everyone dies but me and tank and we kill him. Instead of Exorcism I heal myself with instant FoL.
On my Holy Paladin, easy, was soooo close to not have someone die on 3rd phase, but one person died :(
I find that a good healer in ToC makes a HUGE difference, same could be said of a tank, but I find that they don't have to be great, just have to hold aggro :)
The priest could have also faded to reduce aggro or whatever....
Phase 2 Black Knight is an AoE DPS test.
If you make the army die fast enough almost no one takes damage during that phase.
