Two questions:

1. Did you pick Heat 3 and let him come to you (fighting him in your Heat 3)?

2. Did you spam Summon Imps to redirect Banishes?

I play Lanka quite a bit and prefer the W9/N9 bless. Beserking is too much of an advantage to not get even if it fatigues you out, and once you can Wooden Warriors/Mass Protection up Asrapas you don't worry about fatigue ever again.
