I have found that the most reliable way to avoid AoE's of any kind is to strafe to a side in a straight line as soon as the AoE shape appears.
Stunning is possible in most cases, but sometimes it is resisted (or the boss is plainly immune, like Titan), so I don't rely on stuns at all. Just strafing.
