Here you go: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAW7dlYg67GFyKEfIFRuA7DEETBGz41jE6QGC;TYAgzCts+Y8x+jJBA

You will want knights/soldiers armor with knights/clerics/soldiers jewelry.

Use virtue of courage/retreat/shield of wrath for blocks. Courage/retreat should be saved for team mates while on stage 2, when he teleports to them, so they don’t get knocked down. Try and save courage on passive so you can use it twice (block, then press it again to get aegis so you can block again).

Shield of wrath is best used when low on endurance on stage 2 when he casts the red circles spell. Or use it so you don’t have to dodge. If you are fast, you can rez someone using all 5 blocking skills (rez from downed). Use these blocks correctly and you won’t even go downed (basically did a 2man lupicus last night).

Staff can be used for emergency heal with empower on any stage. Symbol of swiftness works well on stage 3 when he does the large AoE life drain. The other skills are pretty pointless, but the heal is vital. For the sphere of warding (on stage 3) try and dodge it first, if you fail, use stand your ground and dodge immediately. If you fail again (you should have SYG up, it has a 24 second recharge) either: switch to staff and use empower (if you have allies near you), switch to focus and use SoW, and as a last resort use healing signet.

You can switch renewed focus for tome of courage.

It seems to work well. It’s low damage but as tanky as possible.
