Ack. Pets can be a right nuisance! The way I do it, which may not be
optimal, but worked for me, is:

Jump in cannon before your each the other ship, shoot like hell till
it gets frozen and you get ejected. (Try to unleash bigger 2nd attacks
where possible but also try not to waste built-up energy when you do
get frozen, timing a medium hit before the end is better than none at
all)

Rocket over to other ship, while flying target nearest mage, unleash
instant attacks, with luck it'll die before you land.

Nuke other two mages, if I can take them down in 2-3 casts as a healer
spec I'd assume you should be fine. Ignore Muradin (or the horde
equivalent if you're ally), aiming to land at range from the mages
helps as by the time he reaches you you'll be leaving again.

Jump back, get in cannon and start shooting again.

Sometimes I stop and clear out some of the mobs on my own deck, and
where possible, I try to knock out some of the riflemen on the other
ship, as I *think* it's them that are damaging my ship, but time is of
the essence so I rarely get more than 1-2 of them down, just hit them
with instants as I'm flying back and hope for the best. I've only done
it solo once, and that took a couple of attempts, first time I was
there I was duoing which took several tries to get the hang of it,
you'll likely get it with a few more goes :-)
