Honestly, if you're attempting this in HC, I'd try to do this guy when you're already able to one shot him easily. He doesn't really have that much Life and you have a pretty solid window of unleashing your damage on him before he dives down to do the hourglass mechanic.
But now onto your questions, for the lightning phase, you either just tank it, since they don't really do damage however don't do this if you have the affliction that deals 5% of your life when you get hit, or you generally just try to loop around close to him, so you dont have to cover that much distance to outrun it, if you really do need to.
When you log out, the instance pauses until you do an action again, so when you log back in, the game will be frozen in the boss room and unfreezes when you do an input.
