[Vet] [Black gem foundry first boss] How to avoid wipe mechanism?

Today, I challenge against Vet Black Gem Foundry for walk through education.
I joined group tools hiring as tank role with 2 DPS. No healer.
(DPS couldn't survive long time without healer in this time.)

I read this guide book, but too much abstract description.
https://alcasthq.com/eso-black-gem-foundry-dungeon-guide/#

I can't get anything solution for avoiding blast wall crush sudden death mech.
[Q, I need more recognizable guide for this.]


By the way... Why ZOS can't do smart visual communication with players?
I can't feel major improvement in this five years... :s
My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.
I have [1Tough tank] [1StamSorc-DD] [1Necro-DD] [1Real Healer]
with [1Stam Blade].
But, I'm Tank main player. Recently I'm doing Healer.

    The boss will disappear and a yellow animated AoE will appear either around the center altar or around the outside wall. Each person must run towards that yellow area… but:
    - Cannot be too close to the wall or altar (inside the purple walls), or you take damage
    - Cannot be too close to the center of the arena, or you will get thrown into the wall and die
    - Cannot have crystals in your path, or you will get thrown into the crystals and die

    So, while you’re learning, you should:
    - Run to an area with minimal crystals
    - Stand as close to the outside of the arena within the yellow area as possible, without standing in the purple wall (if there’s crystals by the opposite wall, you won’t actually run into them this way)

    Then once you have a hang of it you can practice weaving yourself through crystals. You always get thrown in a straight line and there’s enough room between crystals to slide between them.

    P.S. fun fact, if another player slams into a crystal, it breaks ;)… I’ve had times when learning the mechanic where 2 players stack in a spot that’d get them thrown into a crystal and 1 lived because the other died LOL.

    To add to this, The boss' slam attack will break the crystals so the tank should be trying to position the boss in such a way to break as many crystals as possible to avoid the room becoming to over filled with crystals.
