I have done 5/8 bosses in Dragon Soul on heroic. I want to progress myself and my guild to Heroic Deathwing before MoP comes out, but I always have trouble on the heroic ship. Would like some tips on how to know when fire is actually out, (animation is supposedly bugged) and overall tips or secrets that might make this fight easier. Thanks

Keys to heroic instances in BC are bought from the vendors for various reputations at Honored rep.
- Thrallmar/Honor Hold for the Hellfire instance.
- Cenarion Expedition for the instances in Coilfang Reservoir
- Lower City for the Auchendoun instances
- Sha'tar for Tempest Keep
- Keepers of Time for the Caverns of Time stuff
and for Magister's Terrace you must complete the quest for it in regular difficulty. For all the rep based ones it's pretty easy to get enough rep just by question, if not doing one or two regular instances. A list can be found here. http://www.wowwiki.com/Instance_attunement
There is a finite list of Archaeology digsites. Your 4 active digsites per continent will always be drawn from that list. A comprehensive listing of them can be found here. Not all zones have digsites, but most do.
You should be able to see your active digsites while looking at the continent map. They'll be marked with a small shovel icon: 
While the shovels are not perfectly precise, they're close enough, and once you get nearby, you can look at the zone map to see the exact boundaries of a dig site in question.

I assume you are talking about phase 2.
The strategy my guild uses (25 man) pretty much avoids dealing with moving from shadow/leftover fire in phase 2. We have our raid stand on the edge of the ship on the grey part, fires can not spawn here. Tanks in the middle and the rest of the raid should split evenly either side of Warmaster and the drake.
Raid collapses for shock wave and then runs back to normal positioning for roar. Raid members need to avoid standing in front of the drake due to breath when collapsing and melee should always be behind unless there is fire in which case either in-front(dangerous) or have the tank move to the side a little so that they can get behind the boss.
