That sounds like a weak router that cannot deal with the traffic volume without using fasttracking in the firewall, or like a powerful enough router where you forgot to disable fasttracking so only few packets actually take the proper way. The fact that we talk about RB951 here suggests that it is the former case, the fact that disconnection of one of the WANs, without touching the configuration I guess, supports the latter explanation.
So if there is a chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection ... rule in your firewall, disable it and see what the outcome will be. But doing so may just transform variant 2 (speed lowered due to sending packets the wrong way due to fasttracking) into variant 1 (router being too weak to deal with the bandwidth without fasttracking). So you may need a combination of both approaches, or a new router.
