Samurai - echo/advantage
GPD - energy, invis
ACoC - thorns, resilience, health
WUR - strike, guard
Everyone is sharded but ACoC. He's there to thorn the minions and healblock the boss. Thorns doesn't work against the boss at all. WUR makes everything work by taking all that nasty damage from the waves - he usually dies on the boss. I tried without ACoC and the results were not as successful. The healblock is really useful against the boss to both speed up the shield and to maximize damage while its open.
Samurai with echo is insane. Even on auto he stacks attacks like crazy. I've had boss fights where he does all the shield damage, opens him up, does the max damage to force the shield to close, then opens it back up again in the same turn.
Edit: yes, it was echo, not zone :)
