This was way we dealt with the Spirit Kings in our 10 man raid:

We used 1 tank, 2 healers and 7 damage dealer.

Since you encounter the Spirit Kings in a random order, you might want to alternate your tactics by some degree.

Every King has a set of abilities, he uses since the moment he becomes active. And he keeps using one of them after being defeated.

Qiang the Merciless
1. He calls for Ordine di Fiancheggiamento every 40 seconds while alive and every 75 seconds while defeated. When this event occurs a group of mogu warriors will move in a direct path from one end to the other end of the room.
2. Attacchi Massicci is a frontal cone attack he uses in very short intervalls. It's damage is split by the number of targets hit. Make sure all raids members are being hit, otherwise Quiang oneshots people very fast.
3. Annichilimento is another frontal cone attack but make sure that no one gets hit because it's doing high damage but not splitting like ability 2. It's cone is indicated by clouds of dust.
Stack together and have your tank coordinating the group. Everyone has to stand inside the tank, so he is the one to announce in which direction he dodges Ordine di Fiancheggiamento, Annichilimento or any other ability from the defeated kings which has to be avoided.
Group heal is needed, can really help out, if healers are having mana issues with this fight.
Meng the Demented
Meng is a tricky one. He has two stances with increasing strength as his insanity increases. After reaching 100% insanity he switches the stance and starts again with an empty bar.
1. Frenesia is the stance he deals increased damage. Prepare to heal your tank after insanity reaches futher than 60%.
2. While being affected by Vigliaccheria, Meng acts like being feared by a warlock, running slowly through the room, but reflecting damage as insanity increases. As soon as insanity reaches 60% a damage stop is needed to preserve healer's mana.
In addition to that he has two active abilities:
1. Urlo Esasperante allowing you to deal damage to your raidmembers and also applies a damage over time effect, which is dispelled after receiving a set amount of damage (40,000 in 10 man). He keeps this ability after being defeated.
2. Pensiero Folle is a 2 second cast, increasing Meng's insanity by 10.
Make sure to stack again, in order of breaking the effects of Urlo Esasperante very fast with area of effect attacks like Arcane Explosion. Those spells should not have any secondary effects.
The other aspect of dealing with the mad king is knowing how to interrupt his Pensiero Folle spell. As a rule of thumb, after reaching 60% you do not want to interrupt anymore in order to pass this phase as quick as possible.
Make sure to have a damage stop at 60% insanity while Meng is affected by Vigliaccheria in order to preserve healers' mana.
Zian of the Endless Shadow
1. He uses Ombre Imperiture to summon small orbs, looking like a purple skull, which fixate to a randomly chosen player. After being killed they form a voidzone, which shrinks till the Undying Shadow is reborn after 30 seconds. This time it chooses the closes player standing to the voidzone while it respawns as target for fixate. Those targets have low HP but deal a high amount of shadow damage to close players. He retains this ability after being defeated.
2. Ombre Cariche is like a shadow version of chain lightning, but dealing the same amount of damage to every target. It's jumping range is 8 yards.
3. Detonazione d'Ombra is a debuff dealing a good amount of shadow damage to all targets within 8 yards.
Make sure to spread out the raid to prevent his abilities from dealing damage to more than one player.
The ones fixiated by Ombre Imperiture should kite it to the wall and make sure it gets killed there by ranged dps. It is tempting to deal damage as soon as possible, but this causes trouble with the void zones. Assign a "volunteer" to stand close to those void zones, to deal with the respawning adds.
Subetai the Swift
1. He uses Saccheggio to deal damage in a random area and applies a healing and armor reduction debuff to all targets hit by this ability. He uses this ability after being defeated.
2. He shoots a large Raffica dealing small damage in a wide cone, followed by Raffica dealing damage in a medium cone, finished by Raffica which is a single shot, which can oneshot players.
3. Pioggia di Frecce choose a random target and pinning every player within 8 yards of the target down. Those pinned down players are unable to do any actions untill the arrows are killed. (One arrow per target hit)
Dealing with the pillager is pretty simple. Spread the raid prevents him hitting more than one target with Pioggia di Frecce. Targets affected by Pioggia di Frecce have to be freed asap!
Everything else is just dodging his cone attack and his Saccheggio, as well as the other kings' abilities.

Since the order in which you have to fight those kings is randomly chosen, you have to watch out for the abilities of the defeated kings and adapt to them, while killing the active one. Therefore I just mentioned the abilities of the active one, since the combinations which are possible would be too many.

The abilities which the kings use after being defeated are:

Ordine di Fiancheggiamento (Qiang the Merciless)
Urlo Esasperante (Meng the Demented)
Ombre Imperiture (Zian of the Endless Shadow)
Saccheggio (Subetai the Swift)

Here is a video showing how my guild dealt with the bossmechanics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQUo_ZVz8h4&feature=bf_next&list=PLHs1z6wAbUQDtrnOqLC6ggsBqTuMn2qKG
We had the order:

Qiang the Merciless
Zian of the Endless Shadow
Subetai the Swift
Meng the Demented

And notice that this video is showing how Qiang is pulled wrong.

Additions in heroic

At 30%HP the next King will spawn, so you have to fight two kings at the same time during the transitions.
The order is fixed to:
1. Qiang the Merciless
2. Subetai the Swift
3. Zian of the Endless Shadow
4. Meng the Demented
Each King gains a new ability that works as a self buff:
Scudo Impervio makes Qiang immune to damage, dispells all debuffs and makes him attack for each hostile action that is dealt to him. (only dispellable with Dissoluzione di Massa)
Subetai does a debuff that reduces damage and healing done and armor value by 50% while affected by Gioco di Prestigio. If he is stunned the debuff will not be applied. Ranged DD have to watch out with slow flying projectiles as the cast is shorter than the time your projectiles may need.
Zian will deal high damage to the raid, when his Scudo Nero is active. A damage stop is required until all 5 stacks are dispelled.
Meng gains the double amount of insanity, when affected by Delirio. Simply dispell this enrage effect when he is under 60% insanity and let it on him, when above this threshold.
