Need help with Act 6.4.6 and Grandmaster

I just had a failed run at the Grandmaster where I blew through a bunch of stashed potions and crystals just to get down the Mystic path (Mesmerize path, with the Uncertainty node for Grandmaster), blew through a bunch of units only to get to phase 2 77% health, before giving up.
My team for this run was Cap IW + Nick Fury + Void + Vision + She-Hulk. That roster was picked to have Cap IW parry+heavy the entire mystic path (Ebony Maw was a pain, and required multiple revives and using other team members). Cap IW and NF had been suggested as good options for Grandmaster (but I didn't realize that Uncertainty would neuter CapIW ability to get to SP1 to complete the Damage over Time challenge; secondly I am not good enough playing the real Nick Fury to have him stay viable throughout completion of the challenge prompts with such a small health pool).
My overall roster:
R5: Cap IW, Domino, Nick Fury, BWCV, IMIW, Warlock.
R4: Colossus, Thing, Void, Rulk, She-Hulk, Omega Red, Venom, Corvus Glaive, Vision, Stealth Spider-man.
I have a couple of other utility champs at R3 but I don't think I would rank any of them up.
I know the Cosmic path is relatively straightforward, but I feel like Annihilus and Vision Aarkus would give me a lot of trouble.
I think if I did the Mystic path again, I might try CapIW + Nick Fury + Warlock + others; save Nick fury and Warlock for phase 2 Grandmaster (would have to learn how to do heavy intercept with Warlock to get the DoT challenge; keep Nick Fury's LMD alive so I can attempt it with full health).
Any tips for what path I should take (if I should do a different one), or who would be good options for the Grandmaster?

Grandmaster - Watched a couple more videos, realized I didn't need to be so aggressive since the majority of damage I would deal would be during the Wounded phase. So during the non-wounded phase, was able to focus more on completing challenges, hanging back and holding block so I have time to process what the next Challenge would be, and having time to bait out the SP1. Cap IW was my main workhorse - revives + full health potion top off. Managed to whittle down the Grandmaster with several attempts. Phase 2 was the hardest cause of how long it was and non-complying AI. Phase 3 was alright, but the inverted controls did mess with me on some of my attempts.
Have to say, it is a great skill challenge as opposed to just being lucky in having a niche champion in inventory challenge.
