There are some youtube videos with players who need 4 hits per sword to take them down and they manage to do so with generous downtime for movement and even target selection mishaps.

How many hits do you need per sword? If you cannot manage with 4, can you reduce the number to 3? (this should be easier now with the potency buff to Broil II)

Try: better gear (weapon especially), melding, food, doing the duty several times in a row for Echo.
Go back and do the fight with the changes then speak. I am watching a ilvl 385 drag in mostly 390 food,pots,echo, melds reach the 3rd sword with 90+ on the gauge. Even with all her cds blown she is nowhere near killing a sword in 4 hits.
