Layered heartbeat clusters don't work well right now.
Your best bet really is to run the 8 virtual machines on the two
physical nodes, and have heartbeat+PaceMaker/CRM run directly on the
physical machines (managing the guests) - service availability can be
checked by connecting to the guests via TCP and seeing whether their
hosted service is still available.
That is the least complex solution to your problem.
It'd be marginally better if PaceMaker/CRM supported containers better,
but right now, this is the best path forward for you, I'm convinced.
