    I feel bad man. I rolled a sorc just to get through that place. It was actually a cake walk but until the final boss even though I had sub optimal gear.

    Crystal part. I once managed to destroy them and managed to get boss down to 10% but i was too slow with the soul?explotion and cg killed me. Im still salty from that :#

    So, with the crystal part, you need to find a way to deal with the CG reliably. After that when you are dealing with the crystals if you will be taking constant damage, if you aren't able to deal with all three by the third boss burst mechanic, drop down, deal with the CG and go back up, the soul churn damage will have reset and you can then deal with them.

    Then nuke the boss after you have gotten the power sigil, make sure he doesn't get the ghosts, they will come to him.

    I don't have any class specific advice. Sorry.

    Edit
    I also wanted to add that I usually save all sigils until the end, helps ignore adds and focus on the boss.

    I do not think your CP allocation is what is holding you back, I think it is likely your strategy. I finished as Flawless Conqueror on this patch with stamDK at CP 477, geared in MA/VO. Here is my approach:

    1. Pick up the DPS sigil at the start and pound boss

    2. If unable to skip adds, burn the daedroth and teleport up (boss will be finished off by DoTs)

    3. Finish all 3 crystals in one go (drop DoTs and work on multiple crystals at once)

    4. Hop down and interrupt boss' channeled attack.

    (Gold ghosts are 1st priority in this phase, keep your eyes open)

    5. Kill summoner

    6. Grab the 3rd gold ghost and use the synergy straight away to stun boss and daedroth (daedroth always spawns with third ghost, so you should never have to deal with him), focus boss and kill him before the stun ends. If this is not possible, pick up shield sigil for a clean finish. Remember the skulls still knock you back even with the shield sigil.

    EDIT: Misremembered my CP at the time of Flawless.

    It doesn't matter much actually. I do change CP for some trials, for example ignore Hardy in favor of Spell Shield if a trial has only magicka or elemental damage in it, but don't bother changing CP much for vMA, let alone different stages of that arena, since it has them all. You can put more in Thick Skinned if you're having trouble with the DoT upstairs, but normally Deadly Cloak should take care of that for you since it's considered an AoE. I've found great success in the arena by slotting Corrosive Armor on back bar for the difficult pats of some fights. For the last stage of the 9th arena you may need that if you don't manage to burst the boss straight up, and have to tackle the daedroth and healer mob together with the boss and maybe in execute phase if you fail to burst him while he's stunned. Other than that is pretty straight forward.

    Before the boss spawns, place all your ground dots: endless hail, caltrops, rearming trap.

    When he spawns, activate the ballista ultimate and fire a quick poison inject, then barswap to your melee weapon and wail away.

    Since you're dk, start melee rotation with claw then spam your melee spammable until he's at 70% health.

    This should stop him from spawning the CG

    Best advice I was given: ignore the boss completely he hits like a wet noodle as long as you interrupt. treat the CG as the true bosses. Get a self heal on and grab the healing sigil once you’re down to be safe - kite and melt the CG and then just drop an ultimate on his ass.

    My advice is sound on all chars mag or stam.

    And it COULD be cp allocation - done share play for hundreds of people and thousands of completes myself and you'd be surprised to see the CP allocation some people have done...

    Red tree is by far the most important thing that would be holding you back. If you want to be exact let us know exactly where you've placed your points.

    Thick skin 60
    elemental defender 60
    hardy 40 (or you can go healing)

    STRAT:

    1. Engage Boss - DPS until she teleports
    2. Back up and hit defensive sigil, on your left kill mage then back on boss.
    3. Prepare for CG should have 10 seconds left on Defensive CG will do "no damage"
    4. Take out CG and back on boss to push 70-71%.
    5. Crystal phase (not going into it) should know to move in 1 direction to ensure meteors always falls BEHIND you with 1 constant flow of direction.
    6. Going down interrupt boss (depending on spawn location) if he spwans on top avoid aoe - "you probably know this by now"
    7. Kill add walking towards mid (buys you an extra 60-68 seconds) if you were to COMPLETELY ignore the next one.
    8. Back on boss collect the gold ghosts.
    9. Once the 3rd ghost spawns, she will telelport and begin doing windmill skill. What you CAN do is rush the 3rd gold ghost (ignore windmill) and spectral you just have to roll ONCE while collecting to completely dodge the 2-3 hits incoming.
    10. Finish off boss.

    Keep in mind you have power/healing/haste at your disposal if you need it.
    This is completely true for any class stam/mag above 400 CP ++

    My advice is to just spec for DPS for the entire vMA and don't change it. You can do it (believe me, if I can do it with a magplar then you can, too). Just takes practice and learning the mechanics.
