This boss and the adds are an Aberration, meaning they take additional damage from the Benthic belt Zanj'ir Scaleguard Greatbelt. This increases all your damage on this encounter by 2%, which is a very strong side effect of the belt.

You can use Anti-Magic Shell to absorb the damage from Frenetic Charge. You can also use Death's Advance to prevent the knock back from this ability.
