Is really people suggesting to have 2 TRs with 12k+ GS to beat this? That's one wrong advice. It sure can be faster with that but you absolutely don't need them.
What you need is just 1 TR with 9k. My usual set up for this is:
1 TR without even Smoke bomb. My girlfriend is usually the TR and here she runs with: Lashing blade, Wicked Reminder, Impossible to catch.
1 GF
2 CWs
1 DC
GF can tank a ****load of blademasters off CWs and DCs. Both CWs with Repel on tab, then the usual Shield + Steal time + RoE. Use Repel when boss is sacrificing her adds. Use Steal time when there are at least 3 Blademasters or it's not worth it. Never hit blademasters, but let the GF tank them.
You don't even need Arcane Singularity here. Ice storm is good but not a must. If blademasters are close to the group and they are being sacrificed, use shield pulse and/or Repel tabbed if you haven't Ice storm. Works just fine.
The 2nd CW is not needed but I like to have it. Two steal times timed + RoE up all the time + Wicked Reminder makes it. If you miss a couple of BM with Repel: who cares, you will outdps her anyway, just have patience.

As a fellow GWF i can say most likely you are the reason of struggle with her, especially if you waste dps on adds. Ive did this boss numerous times, with different setups and tactics, unfortunately we have no role to play in this fight. Youre pretty much 5th wheel and you will drag your party down(might start getting used to it if you intend to keep playing the class)
I usually run 2CW,TR,GWF,DC and we simply outdps her heals. Certainly you dont need 2TRs to do it, today managed to kill her with pug consisting of GF,GWF,DC and CW+TR who never done it before.
Few tips i can give to you:
-in most cases, theres no reason for you to even care about adds, if 2CW/CW+GF cant handle them you will not be able to win this fight, focus your dps solely on boss(switch enounters to single target, i usually use flourish, ibs, roar/resto, wms+ss)
-stack dmg amplifiers on her, Wicked Reminder, Student of the Sword, PlagueFire, Enfeeblement, Divine Glow - all greatly increse damage,
-remember to keep Combat Advantage with your TR, by standing on the opposing side of boss, this will boost both your and his dps quite a lot,
-whole party should stand close to boss, DC will have easier time healing and dpsing and CW/GF will be able to pick adds easier and spare some bonus damage
Its kinda funny seeing OP bragging how good hes doing with his GWF on class forums while having problems with one of the easier dungeons.
TLDR: Your DPS on boss sucks, improve it
Btw can anyone confirm that she stops teleporting after losing around 20%hp? never seen her teleport after initial phase.

Thanks for all the pointers guys, got it! Regularly doing it now, it wasn't me, as I was starting to fear. It's simple, with a little strategy, it is, in fact, straight DPS against her heals. Your party should all be at least 10K GS, no question. That's it.

No they don't. Easily doable with ONE TR 9k and 2 CWs + GF + DC

if you have enough single target she cant heal out of it as shown.
