I've only ran it twice as WHM, but I use the Templar essence since it boosts damage as well as HP and defence. I also keep a LOT of Arise on me when I go in there(second run I went through refreshing that 6 times - so at most 35 uses of that since I had some, not sure of exact number, from the run before).
