Usage

Enter Ravenheart Gloom from the Gate of Anguish. Receive the bounty from the Whispers Informant.
Run past the first group of foes with Shadow Form and Dark Escape.
Now, near your position is a mob made entirely of spellcasters, lacking a Heart tormentor.
Wait for combat between the Shadow Army and the Order of Whispers ends. Get closer to the mixed group.
Cast Shadow Form and get into the middle of the enemy group with Shadow Walk.
Now, cast Pheonix, Meteor Shower, Bed of Coals, Lava Font, Phoenix and finally Lava Font in that order.
Once Shadow Form is about to expire (blinking slowly / quickly) use Dark Escape and run to safety.
Once the mixed group has been cleared, repeat the above tactics for the group of six Curse of Darknesses.
After that, you may want to attempt an attack on the group containing two Wind of Darknesses and one Scourge of Darkness.
If a torment gemstone drops at any time, making a clean escape and retrieving it is always an option.

Counters

Heart and Earth tormentors can severely damage, or kill you.
