Cake has the facility to override the built-in flow and tin classification 
using custom filter rules.  Look in the tc-cake manpage under "OVERRIDING 
CLASSIFICATION".  This could be applicable to multicast traffic in two ways:

1: Assign all traffic with a multicast-range IP address to the Video tin.  
Since Cake schedules by tin first, and only then by host and/or flow, this 
should successfully keep multicast traffic from obliterating best-effort and 
Voice tin traffic.

2: Assign all multicast traffic to a single flow ID (eg. zero), without 
reassigning the tin.  This will cause it all to be treated like a single flow, 
giving the FQ mechanisms something to bite on.
