I have the same problem.
I tried to use a Perma Sind with Sliver armor, but the avacaria always killed me, since their burning arrows go though shadow form

BTW: is this farm worth the time spent anyway?

This is for mesmer, but will most likely work for sin, run full vigors with 14 shadow, have like 620 health, use dark escape+feigned to get passed barrage, if you can't make it, you're doing it wrong.

Find a YouTube video telling you how to do the run. It helps. Dark Escape for running past 'em, Feigned for heals when you need it. Rest up after you lose aggro. Basically, follow the video and you're fine.

Perma-forms have made IDS farming a joke, though, so you're not likely to get TOO much out of it. They'll usually drop 1-2 a run, though, if you clear the whole cave.

55hp Mo/W with [sprint] [rush] and [holy veil] to get past the avicara wilds
It works in NM, but there is no difference in IDS drop

it may just be my experince but I wouldn't waste your time IDS farming...in my day I did the run hundreds of times and seriously never got one freakin ids drop, big disappointment

plus nowadays you'd be lucky to sell an IDS for over 15k

and because I can kill imps in NM is faster, its better for me

Edit: yesterday I got 3 dry runs - the first dry runs in my IDS farming

Icy Dragon Swords were blue by default but as of the May 24th, 2007 update they are now gold (and exempt from loot scaling) by default.
I guess this means, that kdz is right.

Will try it in NM than.Should make the avacaria a lot easier to survive.

I used the same build as Leona but replaced neutrality with stoneflesh aura. It reduced the damage to 0 from the birds.

I got several IDS but other than using them on a toon or hero they aren't really worth the trouble anymore.
