Seriously though, things like Wild Blow are pointless against distortion. It's a 5 second stance, it'll be right back. It's better, in my mind, to build towards optimal than build towards doing everybodies job. If there is a mesmer running something like this, I'd just give 'em a Swift Chop (when playing my warrior), call out that he is highly defensive vs. warriors, and leave it to the casters...I'll go chase another target. Staying on the person is merely maximizing their skill choices. If they're super-tough vs. warriors, then they're not going to be able to fully defend against casters...and if, by some miracle, they figure out a super build that can defend against everything...there is no offense.
I realize that this was 3 warriors and a monk agaisnt the guy, but you were feeding him so much energy, how could he drop? When it's down to 4v1, have everyone not affected by SoF attack him, with the monk removing it whenever s/he can. Even better...run from them. That's right, 4 people running from one. Stay well out of casting range...after 30 seconds or so nobody will have SoF on them anymore...NOW get in there and see if you can crack the tough nut. Someone will have to stand there and dance with SoF on 'em, but the other 3 people won't.
Patience is a virtue.
