My group uses Holmgang on Plasma #1 and #3 in order to relieve the pressure from the healers (my WAR saves IB + Vengence for Plasma #2 while PLD uses Hallowed). This allows you to Supervirus the Plasma that isn't being GODMODE'd to help mitigate it further.

As long as the WAR knows when he's going to Holmgang, it means the healers will know when to relax the healing on that tank and focus more on say, the other tank / prey targets. Then both WHM can pop a Tetragrammaton and SCH a Lustrate on the WAR to get them back up to speed in a pinch (you should just be able to Adlo + Cure if you keep a calm head).

Does your SCH have AST leveled, out of curiosity? Synastry almost trivializes this part thanks to how powerful it is on two target healing. That might assist too.
