Died twice, both times to Kirshlaval after 2 bars left...
Serpent lady: Can't dodge it. Best you can do is try to interrupt it, but I'm not exactly sure how to do it, just that it's possible. It probably has something to do with breaking its block during the countdown, or using specific ultimates (Mercenary's Cleaving Gale comes to mind, but I forget if it works or not).
Otherwise, pay attention to the four glowing crystals in the center. The one that is raised points to a platform that will heal you if you're standing on it for far more than the attack does (and will still heal you once or twice even after the attack ends). If you have a Mercenary in your party, tell him to cast his superarmor buffs before the earthquake, you'll have an easier time attacking through it.
About the Manticore's gravity ball starter... When you teleport to his room, either run directly ahead and use your evade skill, or run directly to the side and use your evade skill. Don't go diagonally because chances are fairly good that you're going to get caught by the second gravity ball. Even then, dodging it might be a crapshoot depending on how early or late he launches the attack.
If that's not the attack you're talking about, you're probably referring to the one where he summons these two giant orbs that pins you to the ground? All you can do is look for black runes appearing on the floor. If you see that, you probably only have a second to get out, if you can. They're usually summmoned to his sides, so if you're directly in front or behind him, you should be safe.
