You can always use the sieges for wiping out everything but the hive, plus occupying two players. After everything else in the room is cleared, send in marines.

2 gorgies on nonstop heal will heal 128 damage per second.
5 sieges do 330 damage each and fire once every four seconds.
Do the math:
1650 damage/4 seconds (for each volley) is 412.5 damage per second.
Hell, 4 sieges? That's 330 damage per second.
The usual 3 sieges? 247.5.
Now, you'll need more sieges, I suggest making the siege damage to around 370 if cost persists. But the fact is: Sieges are still a viable strategy in taking down a hive spot.
Now, let me tell you a hint: If they have MCs, it'll probably be targeted first. If they have adren, then can only heal so long before they finally run out. And even then, 2 gorges healing the hive? That means there are 2 less skulks or lerks or fades out in the field, giving marines additional manpower to defend their siege spot.
