Generally, until you get Holy, WhM is a bit awful for DPS. Single target is okay-ish. Bane comes way sooner for SCH. Of course though, Holy is incomparable.
That's what I said "ok fine, going to focus fire on bees instead of going gung-ho on AoEs". I'm totally okay with that, but the main issue is that there is one or two groups with bees where there... more than one. You can rush down one before final sting, but you generally will have to deal with it no matter what with the second bee.
Better to be prepared for it. I have healed that instance a lot and even DPS classes tend to survive it. I think it's more a mechanic that acts a bit like a tank buster. Same for tank busters, you don't let your tank mid life when the buster is coming.

I regretted after that to have taken the heal's side (ambiguously) when we got to the first boss. The heal was actually not healing at all and DPSing. He didn't even reprotect the tank. No wonder the tank was dropping and we wiped eventually.
Yeah... the bees are technically surviveable, I guess, if you're a tank with full VIT, decent gear, on full health, and with defensive cooldowns up.
I think it's best to just keep the tank topped off as a priority, treat them as instant-death mechanic, and have a happy surprise if they aren't.
If the healer was blaming the tank for dying to bees but wasn't keeping them topped off... the healer can jog on.
