This is to be fairly comprehensive by the ATSB.

Qantas Boeing 747-400 depressurisation and diversion to Manila on 25
July 2008

Also this is not a bad passenger account of things.

And here is an unsubstantiated report of what JB's wife said in another forum:

http://groups.google.com/group/aus.aviation/browse_thread/thread/5db0d06bf8e49e3/7d532efdf0c87f98...#7d532efdf0c87f98

No engines were shut down.

After levelling off, fuel dump of 50 tons was commenced, and plane
landed afterwards normally, but used all available runway. Engine #3 was
shut down first, then 3 others after and plane was towed to terminal.
