Just boxed it and beat it on second try with:
SK, ENC, CLE, WIZ, WAR (dps only... no tanking), MAGE
The first time it was just shitty because I failed to click the last item on Grummus to drop his shield, but I didn't notice my SK wasn't meleeing it until it was too late.
Second time I took the four mobs down in the order described on eqresource and alla's, and clicked the clickies in the order listed there. Shield dropped this time and I zerged it down basically ignoring the barrels (more or less) and letting the cleric heal through. It was not pretty, and two toons did die, but Grummus died in the end.
Sorry that this isn't chalk full of info, but the threads here on it were helpful. When I'm not at work I'll try to find a link for you. I think some of the Grummus info is buried in an Anashti Sul group mission thread.
edit: all toons are in TBM group gear, and the SK has a Blue Tower and TDS chase knight 1 hander. No raid gear, no fancy items, etc. SK, ENC, CLE, WIZ are max AA, the WAR and MAG are a couple thousand AA short.

Looking back on it, what I would do over is setup two hotkeys for after I burn the four clicky mobs...
I would:
and setup another hotkey that did a:
and the toon I'm running manually will be the one who runs out of the barrels and moves everyone else but the tank out of them. I can see some issues with this already (how to get melee toons to re-engage Grummus after the barrel isn't an issue anymore), but for the most part I think this would be cleanest. I wouldn't worry TOO much about Grummus spanking the SK while the cleric is moving as I had my SK stay up for like another 60+ seconds after my cleric died during my first try of the event. It was actually pretty impressive that it worked out that well.
There are probably more elegant ways to achieve what I'm saying, but I've never dabbled with things like the /chase command, so I don't know how that works well enough to say it would be useful in this case.
I would:
Rich (BB code):
/bct MYTANK //tar Grummus
/bct MYTANK //stick 10and setup another hotkey that did a:
Rich (BB code):
/bct NONTANKTOON1 //moveto loc ${Me.Y} ${Me.X}
/bct NONTANKTOON2 //moveto loc ${Me.Y} ${Me.X}
/bct NONTANKTOON3 //moveto loc ${Me.Y} ${Me.X}
/bct NONTANKTOON4 //moveto loc ${Me.Y} ${Me.X}and the toon I'm running manually will be the one who runs out of the barrels and moves everyone else but the tank out of them.

The barrels were never an issue for me. You can use chaseon in Kiss to have all toons follow your MA or you can create a follow /stop key on the tank to have the group follow you. You can kill all the trash (mob that fears dies first - he's the one on the far left if you're looking at Grummus) looting, and avoiding the barrels. Run the group to grummus and click the clicky's. and kill him.

ok the star is where u set up, tank pulls the 4 purples (on map) to red star. tank em use what discs spells whatever u need kill in this order qezzin, meedo, raddi, and pzo (grummus bodyguards/kids?). loot 4 items off corpse then run to range and click those 4 items on grummus (blue spot), do not go near him, insta death. after all 4 are clicked grummus will come, burn him down.... i hope this all loaded right and i got the pic up here too. oh this is timed (if u lag too much between kills it resets)

kill faster, all i can tell ya, gotta have dps. i used war, shm, cleric, rng, wiz, cleric merc, so not really much dps, just gotta kill pretty fast no down time between kills. i really dont think i needed the cleric merc just after dieing over n over it was paranoia
