Solo Tanking XT-002 Hard Mode

So i already solo tank XT-002 normal mode on 10man ulduar. Ranged dps kill the small adds, and we let the large pummellers run to the party and i pick them up and tank them and the boss.
I was planning on doing the same thing on hard mode, but so far the best we've gotten the heart to is 10%. But eventually we'll have the dps to initiate hard mode, and when we do i want to know this is viable. We have light bomb people go right. Can i just hit the adds that spawn from the light bomb with a HB then drop a D&D and pop some BB's when they get to me and then just treat them like we treat pummellers now on normal mode?
The only thing i was thinking is maybe the light bomb spawns hit too hard for the healers to keep up. Do they hit any harder than a pair of pummellers? I've tanked up to a pair of pummellers at once along with the boss without issue.
Has any other DK Tank out there successfully solo tanked XT-002 on Hard Mode?

Just assign 2 ranged DPS on the Spark spawned. They should be able to kill the spark in a really short time, like the period of your Taunt.
The power of the Spark is the AE it does. On 10man it just hits like a baby.
Honestly, it is always solo-tanked. If you have done your part but still die, it's time to revise your healers.
My group setup is, Tank / 2Healers / 7DPS(5melee, 2ranged)

Yea that's our group makeup also, except we only have 2 melee and 5 ranged dps. A holy priest and a holy pally healing. So far we have cleared every boss up to mimiron on 10man and they have been able to 2heal all of it just fine.
Do you know if the tantrum does more than 100% health on 10man hard mode? The description on wowhead says he does 15% more damage, which would make his tantrum do 92% or 95% depending on how you add it up. I had heard from other people it did more than this on hard mode so i wasn't sure.
Looks like if i just tell my ranged dps to burn every spark that spawns, and just taunt it that by the time the spark gets from where it spawns to me that it should be dead. I could also hit it with a HB(glyphed) to slow it since i have 3/3 chilblains.
Is it just 1 spark per light bomb, or 1 every tick? Since it ticks for damage every second for 9 seconds. I would assume it works just like the gavity bomb void zones and it only spawns 1 at the end.
