Facing away the felhunters at best delayed it, but unfortunately never stopped the devouring. In the end how I fixed it was:
Send the lord to the opposite side of the room
Having saved up 2 - 3 embers, the moment first spawns, immo and start kiting towards my LoS pillar for chaos bolt
Havoc on the first the moment the second spawns, chaos bolt the second, all the while LoSing chaos bolt
And now burst them down as fast as I can. By this time the lord will be near me, as the enslave will be devoured, I can re-enslave, and get ready to interrupt Cataclysm. (note that all this time the pups are faced away from the pitlord, but the devour still happens, though it's so random sometimes they cast it once and risking a re-enslave could be very productive, or they'd chaincast it and re-enslaving meant death, sometimes they don't cast it at all (which unfortunately was rare)).
