Grumpy, indeed. The Demogorgon fight had me scratching my head for a bit as well. Dragon's Breaths, Comets, and "lesser" spells (Magic Missile, Melf's Arrow, Skull Trap, etc.) rolled off him like water off a duck. On top of that, he seems to regenerate at a fairly healthy rate and has healthy resistances. All around yucky for any adventuring mage.
I would heartily suggest making intelligent use of the following:
--Simulacrum (if it can cast anything helpful)
--Project Image (w/Spell Immunity: Divination to protect from True Sight)
--"Meat": Fallen Planetars, Mordy's Swords, Skeleton Warriors. Virtually anything you can stuff in that room to keep Demo busy.
--Improved Alacrity. There's really nothing quite like it.
--Resist-lowering spells. Pierce Magic, Lower Resist, etc.
--Abi-Dalzim's Horrid Wilting. This was virtually the only thing I could get to damage Demogorgon.
--Chain Contingency. Enemy-Sighted -> 3x Wilting is always nice.
My solution (over)simplified:
Project Image -> Alacrity -> SI: Div -> "Meat" -> -Resists% -> Wilt ad nauseam.
Something like that is definitely plausible. (It worked for me. Roughly.) Being a Kensai/Mage, you may even be able to score close-combat hits on him. His AC is still quite formidable, though (-12 or somesuch?).
Or you could try Dundee's "Bunny Nuke" technique.
