I'm on a PvP server so I only have evil/neutral classes to choose from. Group make-up is the best thing you can do to succeed in there. Try the following:
SK
Defiler
Fury
Dirge
Brigand
Coercer
The coercer should make a night & day difference in there for you letting you deal w/ only 1 mob instead of 2 or 3 at a time. You will get max hate, max regen, stoneskin from the Dirge & Coercer along w/ their other nice buffs. The fury will make up for you intelligence in defensive stance, buff your heat resists(Flame Claw) & increase your DPS. She can also drop Urchin on you to help stabalize the pull & have her cancel it once the mobs eat through the wards. The Brig brings Dispatch, immunity to AoE (himself) & DPS among all their other nice skills. Their is no huge DPS makers in that grp setup, but plenty of synergy & buffage for the SK w/ enuff DPS to take the mobs down 1 by 1 slow & steady.
Also you may want to make sure you target the following mobs first in your encounters: a Nizari bather, a Nizari koi watcher, a relaxing Nizari. I think those mobs are the ones that use Flame Claw.
As far as what gear to wear/weapon config. Use the best stuff you have for a tanking roll. Good Luck.
