Are you sure about stopping him from doing destrudo? I know that if you keep hitting him until he makes that sound it takes off less but I don't think you can stop him from doing it.
I used Lightning, Hope, and Sazh.
Paradigms I had (If I can remember correctly)
Commando, Ravager, Ravager (Pretty much the bread and butter of staggering offense in this game)
Commando, Ravager, Medic (A step down from Com/Rav/Rav)
Commando, Synergist, Synergist (Sazh is a better Synergist than Hope but together they do work to get plus statues on everyone)
Medic, Medic, Synergist (I use this to heal quickly before and after destrudo)
Just keep hitting him and heal when you have to. You can take a break from hitting him for a while. As long as his stagger bar isn't empty, it wiill go right back to where it was with one hit.
Finally if you take too long he will cast doom (or death or whatever it is on the party leader)
