avoid being tossed? not really possible, that effect is a AOE effect centred around the bosses. if you are within radius, you get thrown up. as to not dying? reduce fire damage by using fire absorption ie fire shield spell, get out of lava asap, position yourself so you dun get thrown into spikes, remove curse pots if you are cursed, silver flame pots for immediate healing if u dying

If being tossed in the lava or spikes is killing you then the answer is your toon is gimp and needs to be rerolled.

Don't mind Twiggs, he is probably still scared of WW on elite, let alone tower elite.
Those spikes hurt bigtime on elite, as does the lava sting a bit more.
The best way I deal with it, if possible, is place yourself between the judge and the gate with the shrine, if he does throw you, it wont be far.
He moves around alot so dont worry too much about perfect placement all the time.
Before they increased the damage from the lava, we used to stay right next to the gate and he would almost never throw you, or very far at least.

Your first completion was on elite, don't use that as a measure for padding your completions count.
I would use that as a guage for your character however.
You will have better success as* your experience increases.

*edittypo!

Also, the jailer will throw you as well.
The effect, telekenisis like a beholder but much stronger, happens with both bosses in part 1.
Once you've run tower a few times, you'll begin to have a better grasp on what to expect.
Just try to position yourself where you wont be thrown "as far" when it does happen.
There are alot of things in the room that will prevent you ending up on the other side of the map.
Use them.
