...A trojan walls you into a corner?
...On Vanaduke, a Shadowfire block spawns inside you?
... The team you're playing with is dying every half second?
... you've D/c'd and wanna improve the odds that you don't die?
... your connection suddenly goes from 3 bars to 1 bar because of a major lag spike?
To all of them, there is one simple solution:
DIE HORRIBLY
You pretty much are asking how to deal with a bullet that is already fired, and is currently 2 inches away from your skull.
Thus, my best suggestion is to not get into any of those situations to begin with.
Mistakes happen. Randomness is life (and my internet connection. Hence the last one.).
I like to know how to diffuse situations if they happen... Even when they should be avoided in the first place.
1. If you have a mike, shout at the other person in the hope they haven't blocked mike channels. (Who solos trojans?) If no mike, use any decent KB weapon you have to get out. If you are solo, have no KB weapon and this happens, you may as well be doomed.
*Coming from someone who soloed the Candlestick Keep in Proto Gear, with a trojan, and this happened to me.*
2. IDK, never done the FSC.
3. Wait, and don't die. If they start begging, refuse. Don't rev them. If (when) they CE revive, then, good for them, they just wasted CE because they're going to die in half a second anyway.
If they threaten to kick you unless you tab them, refuse and tell them that it's their own fault for wasting all their energy on useless CE revs.
4. Well, if you're DC'd, you can't really do much. Just hope your teammates keep you alive.
5. SHIELD and don't press too many buttons unless necessary.

Basically what Biligum said, never give in, fight to the end playing with people that are worse than you gives you a challenge and after, you will be more confident against those mobs if you solo them, like Trojans, although they have a pattern which is easily noticeable, still it took me a while to be able to solo them, but now I'm just tooting my horn xD.
Some situations are unavoidable and yes, you may die, but again, get up and continue! That is what being a knight is all about.
Oh and yes, typing when I've dc'd has kicked me out too, then just hope your internet connects fast and you can get back in and join your teammates ^^

...A trojan walls you into a corner?
- Try to predict the trojan's moves based on their pre-attack; since they only travel in a straight line, you can easily dodge. If you are not holding its attention, make sure you have a general idea of where it is. And don't cross paths with the person it is chasing, as it might ram you instead!
...On Vanaduke, a Shadowfire block spawns inside you?
-Avoid walking in front of him so he doesn't mace attack and make shadow fire to begin with.
... The team you're playing with is dying every half second?
-Try starting the party, so you can kick people that are really bad (though this is kind of rude...). Try inviting reliable friends, or find a reliable guild that has skilled members (who can help you, of course)
... you've D/c'd and wanna improve the odds that you don't die?
-If you are on the 5th stage of vana, you most likely will die; it's happened to me tons of times. To prevent chance of D/c'ing, close all other windows/ programs, turn graphics to low, turn of sound/music, etc. Hopefully, someone will revive you so that when you reconnect, you can rejoin with ease.
... your connection suddenly goes from 3 bars to 1 bar because of a major lag spike?
-See the above, shield and try to run in a straight line (away from shadowfire, etc)
Teleport to the back and use my special attack.
Why do I care? I'm still in Tier 2. I can't even fight Vana yet.
It's what Im afraid of. Like when I did JK. Meh. Keep 3 Super Healing Pills and rev them as much as possible. They're a heat party.
Happens to me everytime. But it's from the Wi-Fi I connect to. It's not up to me.
Shield and run around specially if its JK.
Funny, that. 4-man party, everyone 4* except me, and I was 3*.
Carries party through 1st and 3rd levels.
Gets carried through 2nd level (seerusly? Polaris in weird-shaped arena (top right)?)
Did not die on the first or third levels, and with a Swiftstrike as a shield.
Leveled up Cryotech mkII from level 7 to 10.
The trojan is actually easier to deal with than you might think, a simple shield bump is usually good enough to grant enough leeway to escape. If your shield is broken, I've noticed that the blitz needle line knocks it back enough too.
I don't think there's really anything to with the shadowfire situation, as far as I know, mostly stay out of the light patches in the first place and pray that your team members get some water to you quickly.
I usually try to stay on even if my team is bad - sometimes I'm the bad one, and I appreciate the help I get from more experienced players when that happens - but if they're so terrible that it's involving losing all my health to rezzing, I usually just go solo.
I've found that if you've d/c'ed and you type something into the chat box, it'll kick you out of the game and you can log back in fairly swiftly, or at least moreso than if you just waited.
Shield and hope?
