Frankly, it's to avoid it at all costs.

Unless if it's preplanned, it's just better to either desperately try to avoid triggering Walking Dead, or just give up on the DRK and ready a Raise. If I think that I don't stand a good chance at preventing Walking Dead from triggering, that's what I would do, as seeing Living Dead pop up on the buff bar means I'm not panicking enough.

There's simply no way if you're doing a half decent job at managing your CDs, that you'll have enough of the right ones up to recover from Living Dead on your own. It's far worse than as SCH, as the most important skill for SCH to use on Living Dead is ETactics, which has such a short CD that you'll almost never be without it when you need it. And if you have Recitation up, that's like 70% HP on a single GCD.

For SGE, if you don't have Pneuma or Durochole up, you stand no chance at recovering from Living Dead I believe. Even with one of them, it'll be a struggle to do it, and you'll be doing it while ignoring the rest of the party, so hope that nobody else needs additional healing beyond the AOEs you're using for the sake of that DRK until you've recovered a bit of your resources.
