Normal strategy:
I use GS against it (and everything else for that matter). You can land a level 3 charge by positioning yourself at certain spots such as right in front of the back foot, slash releases automatically as it steps back after spraying, or to the left/front area of the front foot (same concept). With a GS you can block the body slam with invisible hit detection frames, though I prefer to roll through them. It's possible if you roll towards the plessy as soon as it starts the charge. When it's doing the spinning tail thing, just stay in the middle of its legs and wail away with the infinite combo (the GS has one).
Easy mode strategy:
Lightning bow w/ scatter shot
I get why it's frustrating though. I remember having a hard time too with it in the past. My personal "most annoying monster list" for new players (in no particular order) is: Diablos, Khezu, Plesioth, Teo/Lunastra
