What’s your gear level? I struggle with Tier 3’s at 525. The thought of an 8 scares the bejezzus out of me.
I might be 608.
Started doing T8 at 595 with not much problems.

^^^ Explanation
Pressing it in combat will shield you, and the Hellcaller talent will heal you while shielded. Use when health is high and expecting incoming damage. Can be used especially while stunned / rooted and you’re standing in bad stuff.
SHIFT pressing it to use as a Lay on Hands. Use at low health for almost full heal (from the empowered healthstone). Unending Resolve will then prevent a lot of further damage, knock back, silences etc. The CD on Unending Resolve is long, BUT you can eat a Healthstone every minute while in combat.
Out of combat and lets say you’re poisoned or falling, using SHIFT will eat an normal Healthstone to give you time to recover health.
I’m at 610 ilvl and I’ve managed to solo up to a T10 Delve as Hellcaller Destro using the Voidwalker to tank, trying to keep a rotation on my defensives of a Soulburned Demonic Healthstone, Dark Pact (using Ichor of Devils so I only give up 5% health), Unending Resolve, and Mortal Coil.
I’m also using the Gateway and Demonic Circle to ping-pong around if I take aggro off the Voidwalker and need to buy time for him to taunt, dodge some mechanics, or resummon him when he dies and Fel Domination isn’t back up.
I’ve had to reset several times even when soloing T8s because of stuff like all the packs that got Zekvir’s Influence spawning on top of each other and so close that it’s literally impossible to pull them in any sort of manner that isn’t, “Welp, they’re in my way. I might be able to yolo past them if I can drop a Soulburned Gateway and take it and then Soulstone rez…” Spoiler: the Voidwalker never lives as long as you think it will.
Best advice I have is take it slow, use your cooldowns and wait for them to come back up if you need to. Especially if you even think the pull is gonna go south. Don’t wait until it goes south. Burn them before it does. Overkill is better than dying. Never underestimate the value even a second or two of Burning Rush can get you for making distance. But since turning it on is on the GCD, you may not get it turned off. So make EVERYTHING into a macro that cancels it:
#showtooltip
/cancelaura Burning Rush
/cast
Just put the spell you want after the #showtooltip and also after the /cast and you’ll be good. It’ll cancel Burning Rush as soon as you hit it. I have almost every spell set to do this. (I also set them up to change what spell they show and cast depending on what talent I have or what spec I’m using and have one that I managed to fit 3 or 4 spells in, but that’s not really relevant to the topic at hand. <.< )
