I HATE that fight. Seriously. On core-ish difficulty, he's spamming insane amounts of summons, to the point where my turn-based game couldn't process them; almost every summon in the fight... and I wasn't shy with summons, either... I had to turn off turn based to end their turn, then turn it right back on. RTWP was even worse, as he'd just lay down constant explosions and summons, immediately overwhelming my Protection from Fire. His AC was so high I found it was actually better to shoot his summons, and hope I critted or killed them to do anything resembling weapon damage to him.
