You're far better off using Foresight and Diversion to mitigate him when he uses the single-targets and not waste your action points/trait slots/damage on it.
If something is unblockable, wouldn't it follow that it would be extremely difficult to parry as well? Following that logic, I don't see an issue with the mechanics, but rather with strategy. People have beat him, so he's not impossible.
