Here is what I had in yesterday for Sebilis:

Clarity
Purifying Rythmns
Verses of Victory
(Various times Guardian Rythmns, Hymn, Absonant Binding, Niv's)
Chain of Frost
Chant of Flame
Fufills Curtailing
Jig

90 percent of the time, I weave the 3 chants. If I also melee hand to hand,
that seems to be enough of a taunt that I can garauntee a summons - even
with 2 SK's and a Rogue doing melee. So, I wait til near the end to h2h
melee while weaving the chants. When we rushed the emperor after pulling his
guards out and killing them as singles, I played purifying and guardian with
my selos drum. Even so, he could stick some low level disease on us
(infectious cloud?). Since that really didn't matter, on later rushes, I
switched to the 3 chants. He resisted them so much, I switched to weapons
and melee'd him with Verses and Jig and whatever playing.

We did this 8 or 10 times. One time just as we are rushing the room, our
cleric is saying "really bad PL, really bad PL..." and He goes LD very soon
after we atack the Emperor Chottal (60 necro?). Emperor has a nice spectral
pet btw. Any how the enchanters tell us not to panic and start applying
runes as needed. I switch to lute and heal & niv's. And somehow we managed
to win. Now that was fairly exciting. Deep in the first floor of Seb - no
evac - no cleric and a named boss mob - heh.

So, it depends on where you are and who you are with and what is happening
at the moment.
