SQl Server failover Cluster 2012

Question
-
Dear Experts,
I had a 2 node SQl 2008 cluster and I have upgarde it to SQL 2012 cluster.
I also need to add other features like SSAS, SSIS to the same cluster. When i tried doing that, I received an error similar to the one described here.
As per the doumentation of SQL 2008 Failover cluster, we cant add features to a SQL 2008 cluster.
Is adding feature functionality available on SQL 2012 or it is also same as SQL 2008? Because I want to add SSAS 2012 to the existing Database Engine cluster setup and I am looking for a way to do that.Thanks,
Thanks

Configure the Integration Services Service as a Cluster Resource
Additionally, from Integration Services (SSIS) in a Cluster "Clustering Integration Services is not recommended because the Integration Services service is not a clustered or cluster-aware service, and does not support failover from one cluster node to another. Therefore, in a clustered environment, Integration Services should be installed and started as a stand-alone service on each node in the cluster."

Thanks Uri,
If it is not cluster aware, let it be..but I need to install it, but I cant add those features (SSIS and SSRS) to the existing installation. Please suggest.
I extracted teh below from SQL 2008 clustering doc. Do we have such doc for SQL 2012 Cluster also? Please suggest.

- Description of the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) service and of alternatives to clustering the SSIS service (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;942176)
Thanks,
