Nice. I guess I was using the more hectic approach then.

I do the jousts exactly as Rochmoninoff does. If you maneuver well as you wheel around you can hit your foe with a Shield Breaker without being hit with one yourself. Since your Charge removes 1 Defend and your Shield Breaker does another, then you are keeping him at 0 or 1 Defend while you always have a 3-stack.

With this method I finish all seven jousts in under ten minutes, and I rarely have to heal my mount between fights.

that’s more passive than my usual approach but i’m still going to give a shot later. thanks.

I find that this simple strategy works on all champions including the scourge captain:

keep 3 stacks of Defend up
Thrust till they move away
Back up (!) till in range of Charge
Charge (before they turn around)
wheel around and Shield Breaker
close and Thrust till they move away
usually they won’t be able to get off a counter charge or shield breaker unless there’s lag because they’re always facing the wrong way.

It takes a wee bit longer than the Breaker->Charge method but you’ve got way more control.
