Bellowing loudly enough to be heard across the continent, Eleanor shouts, "Goodness, is it that time of the month already? I'm late for an appointment."

Valakris, the Bellower, tucks his wings and dives downward upon you with a harrowing bellow. Notched claws snap close upon you and with a beat of his vast wings, the great wyrm hefts you upwards and away into the sky.
Soaring through the trees.
An echinacea root has been dropped here. The twisted remains of Ciri lie here.
There are no obvious exits.

Valakris, the Bellower tucks its wings with a bellow, spiraling downward to a rocky outcropping before brutally slamming you against the stone. You feel your body list oddly to one side, a numbness spreading through your extremities with the spine-shattering blow. The world dims as Valakris' throws his head back with a shriek, sending you somersaulting through the air as the wyrm's jaws snap shut upon you, swallowing you whole.
You have been slain by Valakris, the Bellower.
You are afflicted with: right_arm_broken

I'm at a loss for what I could have done in the second fight. Even without a crone and a soulmaster, he outpaced my curing without really having to try at that affliction rate. Even if I orbed the bubonis to buy myself time (and assuming he doesn't just immediately re-summon it) I'd have had the orb blocking my throatcrush.
1) There are a few points in there where you have asthma, clumsiness, and slickness, you're off curing balances and he's on his third Tarot swing. This is a time to hinder, not keep swinging at the top of your priority.
2) I don't know if this is a thing, but for the first half (maybe more) Tripwire thought he had disfigurement. I'm not sure if purity picked it up or he cured it, but you might trigger the target ordering ents to do something to clear disfigurement.
3) Your stack is a little shallow. I would throw one or two hindering affs in just beneath paresis, and build through clumsiness or magic_impaired into asthma, but I haven't actually ever played Sentinel, so I'm not certain what all you have at your disposal. I know when we last fought I wasn't really worried about limp_veins/paralysis managing a lock.
4) You didn't use Fitness. Indorani have no way to power through lock-breakers, so you could have stalemated it instead of dying.
a) Cue conversation about turtling. Ready... fight!
the way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine
blood as rare and sweet as cherry wine
Edit: magic_impaired does actually have a single effect on Indorani that I've noticed. Meteor Tarot.
So Ashmer and I were both wrong in that you DO actually use fitness once... but I suspect it was manual, and it occurred after you spent a balance attacking. A couple of seconds can mean life and death, though. It can be the difference between a Syssin/vampire truelocking you, or resetting the fight. It needs to be integrated into your curing.
Dodge upsets to mitigate the gremlin, since you can't dodge Indorani cards.
Indorani, unlike every other venom dsl class, aren't affected by clumsiness, dodging, rebounding, or any of the other counters that traditionally mitigate the (very potent) venom aff offense. Did I also mention they have ents? So that really leaves you with only balance increasers and paralysis as your sole effective means of hindering. Fortunately for you, you have three -- plodding from badger, lethargy (40%), and heartflutter (25%).
Your animal choice for dueling is poor. Badger/croc is fine. Weasel is meh, and I'd rather bring raccoon (they can just eat right afterwards you say? well with how most system do limiters and client-server lag, you can usually at least gain .1s of delay from a raccoon tick, and often more, closer to .5). Icewyrm is just odd. You can't track it properly (because not every attack it does freezes) and it doesn't really get you anywhere unless you're so far ahead in the first place that you don't even really need it.
It's very strange that you open with slickness/disfigurement. While pipe balance is still a respectable number, there's not much further you can build from that. Herb affs are your only other options after slickness/disfigurement, and since you're most likely going to hit with herb + pipe, you're effectively going nowhere since they can cure both at the same time.
Your system doesn't track hidden Sun Tarot.
Your crossbow should be reserved for timing attacks. Being able to deliver a single venom aff on demand at (substantially) sub herb balance is very powerful. It's like a poor man's vorpal. You shouldn't just shoot it off willy nilly unless you happen to have alacrity up.
@Serrice, raccoon is useless. I've seen it proc exactly twice since they introduced the revamp. Ever. I use icewyrm just to put passive pressure on salve balance. RNG heavy, sure, but I've sealed more than a few throatcrushes that way and when the target's head breaks in a long fight, it can make a play.
Great advice on the upsets and hindering. The use of fitness was actually my system's doing. Not sure why it's so finicky about using it properly, I'll double-check the code.
I've had more luck with raccoon rng, but there's no point getting into that discussion. Raven will help you more with a class that hinders less easily, and against Ezalor, a passive freeze every so often is never going to lead anywhere.
You might consider raloth for the active triple limb break, if you plan to try something interesting with salves. Even then, I don't believe it will get you anywhere without burnt_skin, and you need it to hit both arms for that as well.
A shallow vlock stack is the best idea for a sent, BUT you still need to throw in other things while you wait for the croc rng to fall in your favour. Also, as Serrice said, shoot that preloaded crossbow at -just- the right moment. It needs to be used as the final straw.
