I tried many strategies. Like some others mentioned, killing the back line pets first was just too slow for me. I eventually melded a couple of strategies and came up with a fight I never lost and which killed all three quickly.
After letting your trainee pet take a hit, swap in an Emperor Crab. Cast Whirlpool on cooldown, Healing Wave as often as makes sense, and Surge anytime you have plenty of health - or Mr. Terrible's shield is down. Try to get in a heal just before the killing Whirlpool hits. After two or three fights you'll get a feel for that. The Crab should finish the fight with 350-450 health left when you time the last heal correctly.
When Carroteye comes out, Surge. He'll hit your crab for about 250 damage, then Cast your Whirlpool. You'll then get in a second surge and die. But you've done about 700 damage plus the coming Whirlpool damage. Even if your Crab is killed immediately, don't worry.
Then comes in the Emerald Proto-Whelp, which I decided on all by myself, but was pleased to see mentioned above. The EPW dominates the last two pets. Just use Breath on Carroteye until he dies. If needed, throw in an Ancient Blessing on the turn before you're going to kill him. Finishing that leg of the battle with 1000+ health is all you need. Don't Proto-strike ... you want it available for Sloppus.
If you didn't get any Crab damage against Carroteye, you'll need to heal an extra time along the way, and you can afford an early Proto-Strike, as the cooldown will be done by the time you get to Sloppus.
When Sloppus comes out, use Proto-Strike. This causes his hit chance reduction move to miss, and you are now clear to burn him up. Generally you can just use Breath until he is dead. However, if Sloppus gets a crit or you get nervous, you can always throw in an Ancient Blessing to calm your nerves. Essentially, after Sloppus gets in his 400 bonus point attack, your're going to get to Breath twice without taking damage. One of those Breaths will be with the Dragonkin bonus damage, and Sloppus is toast.
I used a Guardian Crab (H/H) and a Destruction EPW (P/P) for this battle.
This strategy not only never loses, but is efficient in terms of real time spent each battle. While the crab part of the fight takes a while, the EPW will burn down the last two foes VERY quickly.
