There are up to 5 Sea Witches stationed around him and are firing a beam at him. For each beam, he will gain a debuff which increases the damage he takes by 100%. 5 beams = 500%. Occasionally, he will order his cronies to attack. When that happens, they go for the sea witches and the witches are forced to fight the kvaldir instead of keeping the beam going. Therefore, if you kill the kvaldir that are bugging the witches, you get more damage against him.
Whenever you do decide to attack him, yes the best strategy is to charge in, hit a couple times and back off if you wish. If he has 500% damage debuff, your Soul Strike will heal you for more, which makes it easier for you to take his big hits.
tldr:
Kill adds attacking sea witches so they can debuff him for you for easy kill.
If you see a group of ghostly naga after dying, and are unable to complete this quest: 1. Abandon the quest 2. Leave the vision (i.e. "dismount" the "vehicle") 3. Re-enter the vision and visit Fathom-Lord Zin'jatar again.

What to do
Description
The Kvaldir leader has shown his rotting, ugly face but a short swim from here, down this hall to our west. We kill him now and the Kvaldir occupation of our once beloved city shall be ended. Beware Battlemaiden, for he is no weakling. He has many Kvaldir at his command. Some Sira'kess Sea Witches have been dispatched to weaken him during your attack, but they will be interrupted if you let any of his Kvaldir attack them. Show no mercy, Battlemaiden.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Built to Last
My lady, I have a request from the High Priestess that I am to pass along to you. Many of the city's defenses remain from long before it sunk beneath the waves, and some of them are but a trivial task to reactivate, were it not for the countless Kvaldir that stand in our way.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Looking Forward
The Admiral used the information you gathered for him to make a forward post under the terrace to our west. He's been preparing there for some kind of attack against the naga. You should go to him immediately and inform him of the scope of what you've witnessed.
