If you don't run out fast enough will the nova kill your casters? I haven't tried this heroic yet.
Initially I tried running out and found it too tough to do (until I found the strafe technique you see in that video). I was always too slow getting out of the way and when that happens your team gets hit and it's gg.

I then watched how Hachoo did it (he just takes the blasts and heals through). I decided to try it this way and I was able to pull it off if I had really good timing. Basically after that blast goes off my priest would be at about 1k health (even with fort on) and one tick of the bouncing spark between characters would kill him. I found my priest would die, heal in spirit form, use his soulstone, only to die again and continue healing in spirit form to complete the boss. He has about 17.5k health with fort on. My warlocks have more health (about 19k with fort) and soul link so they were generally OK.

At the end of the day I found that running out worked the best for my group as long as I could manage to avoid the blasts. Sometimes I run prematurely and the boss moves out of position and things get a bit hairy, but as long as I do it properly it works fine.
