Edit: Also I suggest having the brd on focus target, not the mnk.
I'm not sure if you watched it or not but.

1) Even if he was disabled then I still would have died. Disable drops 10% dmg, and guess what? In the first clip he did 13364 damage in under a second, and in the second he did 11883 in the same time. It's broken as hell.
2) I have monk on focus and bard on primary to disable on burst, which again doesn't even matter for reasons stated in #1
3) You're asking for the impossible with stuns, smn's virusing, etc, for a group of random people who half the time is filled with new pvpers since SE got the bright idea to change the way match making works.

The fact of the matter is that bards can do more than a full bar of HP in under a second, and the only real way to avoid it is if you manage to attune right as they start casting emp arrow. Good luck doing that reliably, and even if you do you just opened yourself up to be a free LB kill. If they cast it on a party member, say a DRG who is bursting and has b4b up, then it's even more devastating.
