Mathew,
I did not look at this clip but in this situation it might be best to do a couple of different angles
of a wide shot and then let your camera operator go in an cover it free form. Your operator should know what your actors are doing by then and be able to cover the action. After a few of those passes pick up the moments and dialogue you have missed and you should have a pretty interesting scene. IMO to stage each shot with all these people will turn into a boring scene.
