I also found the cited guide last night, and am finally making progress. I only tend to do 5 or six tries before I get frustrated and quit.

The key things I've found doing this as a Holy Pally are (1) Keep the Celestial Defender fully healed up, and (2) dispell his debuffs. If you do this, he can pretty easily handle the first phase around the forge, without triggering anvils. I made sure he and the Blacksmith appeared in my raid frames (Grid+Clique), which made their status easy to see, and greatly simplified casting heals on them. I Beaconed myself.

During the first run, there's enough time between when the CD turns up, and the trash appearing, to heal the CD up to max. Once there, it's relatively easy to keep him up. It's much harder/impossible to do this when restarting the final phase after a wipe. This is one of the reasons I get frustrated and quit - second and subsequent tries are at a big disadvantage.

In the final phase, I got him down to under 50% last night. I may be able to get this....
