No problems here, my Peacebringer beat the crap out of him pretty fast. I just hit Essence Boost, ate a few inspirations, hit Inner Light whenever it was up, and then pummeled him with g blast>i strike>g blast r strike until he was.. Sufficiently "arrested."
Maybe the trouble is your attack chain?
I have all those, but need to throw in ge since I'm on all SOs with no recharge.

Hm, well maybe try going in with half a tray of red and half a tray of purple inspirations, that should get you through the fight if you're having trouble.
Oranges help as well... he hits pretty hard when the hits land. Also go in big with the AOEs and take out the smaller characters first so you can just focus on him. He'll maybe revive the minion, but you can juggle him pretty well with Solar Flare.
Don't be afraid of using inspirations, either. Doesn't sound like you are real reluctant, but needing to use them is not a bad thing. The game is designed with their use in mind.
Me, I mostly just make sure to have an orange and a purple popped at all times with him, and that gets me through okay. I've been fighting him and any bosses I encounter in human form. All other mobs (I think I've been at x2 with my PB for my solo runs of this) are in Nova for the bigger AOEs. I think he got lucky once and dropped me even with those up, but I've been okay at all other times.
Whatever form you use, make sure it's slotted well. I've been running on a PB exemped down, so his tri-form build is fully slotted. He's mostly built for recharge with that, though, and no defense boosts to speak of while in human. Just to make sure we know what we're comparing.

In regards to his heal, it's dependent on the Rulu-Shin within range when he activates it. So kill everything around him, including the Natterlings he summons, to stop him from using it.
Other than that, just pop some inspirations and he'll go down.
Wanna play a Peacebringer? Don't believe the hype. Check out my guide and get the real truth:
PEACEBRINGERS SUCK!!! (Now fully up to date for i21+
) To add my own bit of advice, have you tried hoverblasting? (Assuming you have Nova form, that is.) These EB's seem to have like one ranged attack a piece, and are generally helpless against ranged targets.
