You don't need to tank Shiro at all.
Just ignore him as you cap the shrines, and use wild blow to remove his stance "Battle Scars" as soon as he uses it.
Bring a couple of hexers to put him down with things such as spoil victor, empathy, SS

Actually, as long as his stance is broken, tanking him is counter productive when he uses impossible odds with these hexes.

shiro doesn't realy do that much damage if you leave him alone.

you can simply cap shrines and ignore him till all shrines are capped.

If your monks suck balls and can't handle that, bring a blindbot so you can keep him blind...

If you notice, Shiro's damage output is very low if you don't actually hit him. He does big damage if you hit him with Battle Scars active, and does uberleetpwndzorz damage if he has Battle Scars AND Impossible Odds active. He also seems to be in no hurry if you don't pay attantion to him. You can often get 20 seconds of Shiro-free capping if hes not engaged.
