I've not played on the console, but I have lots of experience with Arcane + Vortex. I'm assuming you're under max level?
-For arcane, there are 2 strategies. First is to avoid the needle completely. If that isn't possible, move in the opposite direction it is moving. This will minimize the damage you take-even less than standing still.
-Vortex is tough. Your best bet is to use terrain. Put walls, pits, rocks (anything your character must walk around) between you and most of the monsters. That way the Vortex will pull you into the obstacle, but not the pack itself. Getting out of range completely is difficult.
Other than that, gear for Toughness as much as possible. Or add DPS. Either option is workable, but it's hard to give specific numbers to you. I have a good ideas about end game target amounts, but not much to offer for leveling. And again, I've never faced this particular menace; it's not in the PC version.
