Holy Water Chamber issues

Like every other day, today i went to HWC with my partners Amalielle and Day3741. Fairly uneventful first half. Despite my ele dying in the trap room due to me trying out fraps, was a basic run. That was until, we got the final boss down to 50%.

Ok wind back abit. HWC is a raid that has 3stages. They are the dios split, orgeta and jorgen the final boss. The dios split occurs after the squad poses( minimum requirement 3 players to pose). The squad is split into 2 and in the first part, each side faces a dios lanterm. After they both kill dios, they will recieve a code which the other team needs to enter into a tombstone. Then comes the blade room, basically a very simple maze of blades. after that each team takes turns killing a dios inorder to save the other side from being killed by blades.

Orgeta. For this section you need a vincent to pose, this removes a buff which basically makes orgeta regenerate at a insane rate. Everyone else kills orgeta. Oh and by the way, mobs try to kill vince, so if the vince user doesn't have a capable team, he will need guards. Orgeta drops a few chips and some LoD keys.

Jorgen. This is the final boss, and again the squad needs to split up. jorgen routinely spawns a colony which again gives that insane hp regen buff. he has a few aoe's one wich buffs him like 10 ar dr(need whole cancellation or dispell magic to remove), a few dmging ones and one which makes your chars unable to move for 20seconds, can be removed with jarring tune by vince. HOWEVER once he gets down to 50% he spawns zealots(mobs), hitting them gives you a debuff that lasts 1 hours that reduces your ar by 50%, to remove this you need to have a lorch potion(acquire from lorch). Then the rest is a walk in the park, don't use the pot before killing ALL the zealots or you will need to use another one to remove the buff again.

If i confused you which i am sure i did watch this video by BlackWhisper of ShakeTheHeavens doing it. Here

Ok back to what happened, Day3741 forgot his lorch pot, which meant i had the pleasure of trying to solo dps jorgen with my squishy team of STF ele vince. Obviously that didn't go so well, i had more than enough dps, thats for sure, but surviving was... impossible, as soon as he got that ar,dr buff, he skills, I am dead. I did manage to take out 30% of his hp in a period where he didn't skill for about 10-15mins, but then I sorta got raped.
