TheWoWDBI strongly recommend throwing caution to the wind and having all 3 companions going full dps during the final phase against the water boss, rather than having them focus on staying alive. That's your job, after all.
After numerous failed attempts to do this the "right" way, I found that they simply struggled to contain adds. Once I switched to having them be aggressive, it was a breeze.
Or, if you will, a mist.

What this quest asks of you in mistweaver spec:
1. Basically try to heal the worst pug ever
2. Heal them as they stand in void zones
3. Heal them as they have lousy dps
4. Heal them as they have no defensive cooldowns
5. Heal them as they fail to keep an excessive amount of adds from swarming youDon't bother. Switch to your dps spec
Strange as it may sound I completely ignored everything to succeed. Went windwalker and told everyone to go all out. Used touch of death and touch of karma with an ox statue out for the little slimes. Spammed normal dps rotation only used one healing elixir, no pots. Whole fight was over in less than a minute. Lvl 102, ilvl 716 and only 3 artifact traits bought (up to rising winds). If the fight is giving you some trouble give this a shot, especially if you are like me and not a monk healer by trade.

Description
Ah, Sheilun, the legendary staff wielded by our last emperor. If the Legion were to acquire this weapon, they could unleash untold horrors across the whole of the continent. They must be stopped! If you want to get to the Terrace as fast as possible, you should hitch a ride directly to the mainland. Tak-Tak, a hozen kite-master, is skulking around west of the temple. Speak to him without delay.
