This used to happen in our legion and we higher/highest level in the legion had to put in 2-3 times the locked in level to get rid of the boss within the time, but one day we stopped doing that and let bosses sit there when we locked in more or less focring the others to put more energy into the bosses, now days everyone locks in almost instantly, or puts in all energy they have, no more 1-hitters and leeching, everyone helps.
I beilve we even had a couple bosses disappear due to nobody else hit more then a few times

Suggestion is try something like that.
