The only fights where I found instagibbing to be a problem are Naj'entus (tidal shield damage + needle spine right after) and Kalecgos (arcane buffet, portal damage and shadowbolt volley in the demon realm). Everything else is either low damage or steady damage (though, you might want to wear some PvP gear for Gurtogg to mitigate Bloodboil, but you can use a pot/HS if you get low, or even mana shield/iceblock if you're really low and have no heals coming your way so stamina shouldn't really be an issue.)
Council is a special case, but if you get envenomed and have an AoE land on you, you're dead anyway. But then again I don't really know much about that fight as a DPS as I have been mostly tanking.

Aldor is better for mages.
