I took mine down in 12 seconds, firestorm and phoenix at the right time, just before he started to heal himself, bam i gave him a phoenix, then it was just bashing on him and he went down in no time.

ok im sure most of these people saying that the mirror self is easy are probably using a warrior. the warrior mirror self is easy and ranger isnt too diffcult. this is because you have similar weapons that do similar damage. but try doing it with a monk or mesmer as your primary. youre trying to use a staff or wand while hes using a chaos axe or a bow that does 2 or 3 times the damage of your weapon. and changing your attributes doesnt help execpt to make certain skill stronger for you. i tried lowering the fast casting on my mesmer and he kept casting at his normal speed. if anyone thinks that the mirror is easy then you should probably try it with a support profession like monk or mesmer. it will probably change your mind.

For my Mo/Me I used 3 skills; healing breeze, backfire and empathy.

Mirror Images are not really your mirrors. Although they have the same skills as you have on your skill belt, something is wrong.
As I faced it with my Mesmer (empty inventory. I didn't have a weapon equipped), he shot me with a bow and chased me around with a chaos axe. I did the following:

I equipped Hex Breaker and filled the rest of the skill belt with a lot of slow-casting hexes. Weaponless, I simply stood in a corner, constantly using Hex Breaker. I lost 100 hp (bow). He was killed.

I also noticed that having myself 7 in Fast Casting, I was casting faster than my double. I believe he didn't have Fast Casting at all.

well im a Ra/Me
i brought 4 spells
Chaos Storm, Throw Dirt, Storm Chaser, and Dual Shot
Hed run up on me, wed blind each other...
i would then stand there and use chaos storm
which he never uses
just as storm stops and dirt wears off
chaos storm to the top
he doesnt follow
dual shot from top
he will then use chaos to sprint to me
blind, chaos, and dead
get it

use chaos storm
and no heals...duh

2. If you have weapons in your inventory, it will use those. Make sure they suck.

3. It's no smarter than any other monster.

I'm not so sure number 2 is correct. I carry no bows and only had (at the time I ascended) a 7-8 damage wand in my inventory. My mirror hit me consistently for 100 points of damage before I learned how to time my strafing.

OP... you didn't list your classes so I didn't contribute any words of wisdom. But mirror threads also pop up in the Gladiator's Arena forum, so check there for more strat hints.

Hmm, hex breaker... Thats a good idea, thanks for that idea Death, next time I try that with a mesmer.
