my assasin->mage (lvl17/22) did it solo by casting mislead repeatedly and backstabbing anything that moved with Celestial fury (that stun effect is nice in a crowd). Also used improved mantle/mantle to keep them off of me while I needed to cast. I can't remember if the giants use magic weapons or not.. can't remember if I used PFMW. Of course, imp haste helps speed things up. Oh, and don't forget protection from fire!

also, I found it very effective to use chain contingencies to fire multiple area effect spells at once (3xADHW is good). Memorize several CC's so that you can do this in battle. CC doesn't require ANY casting time, so you can pound out spells really fast like this.

One thing, maybe you should let them come to you. I'm assuming you mean inside yagasura's lair where there are so many fire giants. Don't go way up in there to excite ALL of the giants at once. try to only move in once you've taken out everything in the current screen. This way, you can return to the pocket plane and rest if you want inbetween battles to memorize more CCs and AOE spells.

hope that helps.. I'm sure others have good ideas.
