I'm curious how I was able to one shot it on my PLD that was undergeared yet actual DPS can't seem to clear it.

Terminus Bellwether boss in Amaurot could be considered to have an enrage timer I think? Since once you beat the adds it summons, it'll start a slow-cast attack that will wipe the party if it goes off.
I had trouble with this fight as a RDM as well. I had the 430 ilvl class gear on the left, and a mix of 390 & 406 ilvl gear on the right (I'd had 2 drops for caster gear from previous dungeons). I'll agree that taking Y'shatola is preferred, especially over Alisaie.. for 2 reasons. She has the highest/best dps of the 3 trust dps, and she does NOT use the Limit Break - unlike Alisaie who will virtually use the LB whenever it's up. Ryne also doesn't use the LB, so is also an option... but she does less dps (imo) than Y'shatola.
What I ended up doing was saving the LB till close to the wipe-cast going off and then using caster LB. Yes caster LB is the least damage of all the dps LB's (but rdm is my only 80), but as the boss is taking more damage the lower it's hp... it does decent damage. So the small buff from food, taking Y'shatola and using the LB let me beat the fight in the end.
And for those wondering - yes I use the melee combo of RDM, I do use my 2 dps CD's whenever I can... I do try and time them at the same time when possible, ie use Embolden, then Manafacation, then melee combo, then Verflare/holy, Scorch, back to normal.
Note - I should also note that I do have a disability which effects my reactions, reflex's and eye-to-hand co-ordination somewhat. So this does make it harder for me to get through 'tough' fights, or movement heavy fights, or such. On top of that I'm also not in America (I'm on US data center), so have higher lag & latency due to that as well.

During that last bit where you need to dps the boss down quick, I did it as a rdm with Ryne and Uriange, I saved the LB for that bit (got clobbered by some aoes because I couldn't move while the lb was going off) and dpsed it down decently in time, just essentially save all of what ever burst you have for that bit.
Yeah, I went in as a WAR because at that point, tank queues were atrocious. So I was like "WHY NOT", better spend more time actually running the dungeon than waiting on queue. We beat the final boss no problem. No Rokan gear, a mix up of leveling gear from previous dungeons. I cleared it without issues.
I'm honestly not sure. The final boss of Amaurot seems to have something close to be an enrage timer, as it approaches the southern edge of the arena. I have never reached the point, neither with trusts or actual people, where it jumps on the last bit of it? if that ever happens at all or just stays there?

I went in as a DRK with just the base AF gear and random dungeon bits. Not even full i430. First try as well, even in Dohn Mheg when I couldn't get past the tight rope. My daughter Alisae be on it I guess.
