The method I used, although this was just in normal difficulty, was to use Mordenkainnen's swords to tank him. They are immune to all of his damage except the one-time lightning damage when he transforms, and can reliably tank for a long time as long as you have the pots or the heals to survive his brutal chain lightning(the swords are immune to this magic lightning it seems).

I got to liking Mordenkainnen's swords in NWN2, I never used them in vanilla BG2 back in the days because I thought it was something my mage had to wield like the black blade, but recently I found that they were amazing in BG2 too!
