I finally got this achievement with my ranger main after trying over a dozen times. After the first few fails I decided I’d limit my attempts to a few a day to avoid getting tired of the cut scenes.
As soon as the cut scene ended and I was given control, I started running. I activated Rampage As One while running. When that finished I activated Quickening Zephyr, all the time running for scarlet and steering clear of or dodging grenade attacks. Previously I’d had a difficult time dodging the lightning AOE that interrupts the stomp. This time I was ready to disengage and dodge when it came up, but it never did. I can only call it timing, but I got the stomp done before her attack. I didn’t believe it for a second afterwards. Luck and timing definitely play a large part, as well as player skill.

I earned the meta achievement a few days after release, dailies filling in for some of it. getting this particular one was just a personal challenge, to see if I could pull it off fast enough. I don’t need to finish every achievement from every update, but as long as it’s still running I can try for what I don’t yet have.

I’ll just put this link here once again, as a reminder that it can be done regardless of profession.

No gear, no skills, just evading and pressing F.

This is from before the patch when it was still easy. You try to do that now and you will get interrupted a second time.
