Here's how I finally beat him:

Sharp Shadow, Speedmaster, Mark of Pride, Unbreakable Strength

... and ... turning the sound off!

It's incredible what paying only attention to his visual cues and not be distracted by the aural ones can do. Also realizing that even though he seems very fast, one often has more time than one thinks (noticed that when watching the Youtube video where some crazy guy beat him using only Weaversong). After turning the sound off, it took me about 3 tries.

Oh yeah - sharp shadow because... for one thing, whenever he spawns close to one and looks like will dash attack - simply dash into him if he's not too far away. And since it lengthens the dash, it ensures that when he does his fire dash attack from above that you actually make it past his fire trail. (Also note that when he does that dash that you should not immediately dash but "hover" a bit in the air to make sure his diagonal trail disappears before you dash where it used to be)
