Robin,

Biting is always a bad sign .................. If a reed is too open - you can always squeeze it to close it more - I find with the wire - I can press it on the sides or on the width of the reed - one will open and one will close the reed - or you can slip it up or down to the same effect - which is my first preference.

I try to make my reeds a free blowing as a possible - "no biting" - maybe a firmer embouchure to raise pitch or get some of the very high notes to speak - depending upon the reed and that reed would not be my first preference.

One lips should not bleed and for that matter became sore from teeth marks.

If that happens - then the reed is just not right.

Fatigue should only happen in the muscles supporting the embouchure.
