Need sorc help - Maelstrom Vet: Argonian Behemoth (Round 7)

Im seriously at a loss here. Ive been stuck on the boss for 3 hours. Let me tell you about my sorc:
Jullianosx5 magicka divines
Archmagex3 magicka divines
willpower arcane spell power

100 points in bastion, etc. (they're in the right spots for a sorc)

My issue is too much damage at once. I understand to avoid the flower poison things and i stay away from the behemoth but no matter what as soon as the mages spawn I instantly die even if my shields are up. My shields get burnt down and then before I can even weapon swap to recast shields im already dead from a single 20k+ attack after being rained on with other attacks. Its just ridiculous, how am I supposed to handle this amount of damage all at once? Sometimes I can get through but maybe one time I got the boss to 50%. Mostly I end up casting wards until im out of magicka. ITs relentless. Like I said, im at a loss. I dont know what else to do and am going insane. Im working hard for this and need some advice. Ive watched videos and whatnot but honestly when I try to do the same thing its just not ending up anywhere as lucky as others.

    Are you interrupting the boss when it screams? It turns instakill if you do. Possibly you're hitting it with crushing shock. We've all been there and did that after normal MA made you interrupt it.

    Yes, im hitting it with crushing shock. It seems to be doing its job, is this bad to use?

    Yep when it screams chuck an aoe on it and give the shield minder 2 heavy attacks and then wreck it and when the scream stops. They have a nasty charge and stun attack straight away so weaken them when they can't move.

    I promise you this: Kill only one of the mage adds, then go stand in the other add's bubble. Do not interupt the boss; let him finish the entire phase, then kill the mage add, and rinse & repeat. This will be substantially easier for you.
