Probably use a shield more. Also that looks like way too much prayer for 2-3 kills, cut that down by maybe half.

 

Really so long as you're using devotion as much as poss and at nice-ish times, and using debilitate as much as possible, theres not much else to be done with your bar aside form using shield. Consider a range switch for minions and zaros phase too

 

Edit: On on the point of statics, everything aside from plate and legs should be mage gear.

You can get yourself a good shield, instead of Falador shield 4, and use Revenge to save some health. You can upgrade your gloves to Static, but that should be very minor. You can also bring an adrenaline potion to use more thresholds. Plus you can use an aura.

. You can also bring an adrenaline potion to use more thresholds

 

And to make the Ice Phase much easier in order to get the adren to barricade/immortality two or more prisons.

1. All armor, aside from plate and legs, should be magic armor

2. Consider learning how to mage tank. You take a LOT less damage, but you can only do it every other phase

3. Ring of vigour. Your friend should be able to get through ice on two prisons, so you need to get enough adr to use baracade/immort

4. Use a shield. You don't need an offhand, unless your partner is very bad. You should NEVER use an offhand. You aren't for DPS. The most you should do is assault on blood. You need your HP. They are the ones to zerk and get redbarr'd. Not you.

During smoke/shadow/blood/zaros make sure you're using reflect/debilitate/devotion whenever they are available.  When they aren't available, switch to soulsplit and try to grab a nice resonance heal.

 

Just a quick guide for ice phase.  (I haven't logged on in a week or two so I'm going from memory here).  

 

At the end of blood, nex will either sacrifice or siphon.  A siphon means she'll start ice phase with a prison, and sacrifice means she'll start it with contain. If she calls siphon, do immortality as long as cruor is under attack.  Once you immort, use basics on nex to build adren.  If nex calls sacrifice, wait until the tag to ice to immort.  Tag nex to ice, and as soon as she calls prison, use anticipation.  When you're prisoned you can use basics to continue building adrenaline.  After the prison your immort should have been triggered.  Drop pray and use resonance to try to get another 1-2k heal.  Continue using basics on nex, dodge the contain while pulling nex relatively near to glacies.  She'll call prison again and you should be able to anticipation->barricade.  Unless your dps sucks, ice phase should be almost over at this point.  Bring nex a little further away from glacies so that your dps can rapid fire.  If you think you'll get prisoned again, run back towards glacies after the contain, do anticipation, and eat up.  

 

NOTE:  if you are consistently tanking 3 prisons, you can change the order around on your abilities to do barricade, immort, barricade.  This will require barricading a couple ticks after nex calls the first prison but before the prison is actually formed around you, otherwise I don't think the cooldowns work out
