Don't try downing potions before you go into the room, because they will get dispelled. I was mad when all the potions I drank, like potion of storm giant strength and oils of speed, got dispelled. I never thought I was going to beat him without those potions, but I did evenutally and he's not really that hard. Once I got a good plan down it took me like 2-3 tries. Here's what I did.
As soon as Brother Poquelin turns into Belhifet, I paused immediately. I had my mage cast haste on the party, then my cleric casted protection from fire on my paladin, then I had my thief stand out of the way in the middle with detect traps on. I unpaused, then I sent my paladin (which is a tank BTW, she's awesome)to start attacking Belhifet, and I casted another protection from fire on my ranger. I sent him in to start attacking. Usually the iron golems will go after the mage, so I took my mage and my bard and ran them around the outside with the iron golems chasing him. That basically eliminated them from the main fight. Also you can cast magic missile and most of the time you can hurt Belhifet even though he is magic resistant. Don't fight Belhifet in the circle of traps. You are asking for nothing but trouble by doing that. I can't stress the importance of protection from fire enough. Without it I think the game would be impossilble to beat. Hope this helps. Let me know if it does or doesn't.
