Ghosts during Valindra's Tower final fight

Most of the teams i've been in had some issues during the second ghost parts of that fight. If we survive it's not an issue, i can keep everyone alive, but most of the times, the second ghost time is when the team is failing. Those things can't be killed, can't be controlled, can't be taunted by a tank and of course there's always someone getting 3 of them and trapped in a small safe area with smaller surrounding safe zones. The room is so huge that my heals can't reach people in trouble without being suicidal.
I know there's something like "they will aggro the closest person" but they seem to spawn more or less randomly. Of course the closest person is always the squishiest character - I guess the devs think it's funny if the team wipes because the RNG decided it. Has anyone found a solution, except running with the ultimate tank builds making this "awesome" fight extremely long, stressful and tedious, no CW and a couple of GWFs with a tank? The longer the second phase is (claws + 5 to 7-8 caskets), the more annoying the claw is, because it's happening during the casket phase (the claw spell has a shorter cooldown than the casket one), so, I feel there's something wrong in the equation.
I've successfully done this fight several times, but only with people with at least 14k GS and a crapton of tanking and damage at the same time - and i've had the lowest GS in the team (14.1), precisely because that ghost phase forces people into tanky builds while the claws and caskets are kind of a dps race.
Any ideas?

Thanks for sharing. But i failed to see how people can still deal with 3 ghosts and no escape in your video because it didn't happen during your fight. Any other tip will be appreciated.
dont get what you mean. She doesnt using grasp during final phase, BUT she does sometimes once at the very beginning of that phase, but ive only seen it happened a couple times, i dont think she is suppose to.
sometimes someone will get choked, but not much you can do about that, just move to your areas as soon as ghost phase finishes.

As long as everyone moves in the same direction, should be pretty easy.
I've seen a couple of 18k GS tanks shamefully dying in a corner to ghosts, sad tieffling faces running to me for heals and offering me 3 ghosts at the same time, especially when i'm out of stamina, rogues rolling until they're out of stamina and can't move out of red in time... The only failures i've seen during the very last part of that fight happen when someone died to ghosts. When the so called "afk check" is a success, there's no issue and Valindra dies.
As posted above, once the lighting flashes across the red, there will be about a second where the line stays, but it's safe to cross.
The biggest issue people get into is trying to dodge around in a tiny area, and eventually get hemmed in by the ghosts. If you run circles around the outside, there's no reason anyone should die in this phase.
Ah tanks it works pretty well, i didn't notice that. Most of the times, red means "damage incoming". That's a bit confusing here. Told it to people I played with yesterday and it worked fine.
I am being put in corners by the ghosts and I also use my dodge through the strikes a few times. Was never in any danger though.
No idea what they were thinking, except, "people like DPS classes, lets make a dungeon that requires nothing but DPS."
