Malgrim steps closer and sends another bolt arcing into a giant.
Aim for Red first. If he is dead go for White. 5 ft step. Gather Power and send an Extended Range, Adamantine, Composite Mud Blast. If Red is dropped by the Attack of Opportunity, I may not be able to see the white giant so I will make a move action and do an Extended Range, Adamantine Blast instead. I am not sure from the map if my 5 ft step allows me to see the White one. I will put it in a spoiler in case I need to do that.
Since Gnasher is, in fact, using the hybrid approach with temp HP, he is only at -1 and KOed.
Shadow hits red as he moves away but does not bring him down.
Red Fire Giant (-171 HP)
After the pair brings down Gnasher, Shadow focuses on the white feller and hits 3 times.
White Fire Giant (-74 HP)
Malgrim is unable to hit the annoying and increasingly dangerous red giant.
Gnasher, you want Urah to heal you which will cause you to regain consciousness fatigued and prone and, worse, sandwiched between two very nasty hitting giants. Alternatively he can Dimension Door you away from the fight.
Also, you automatically return to your natural size when the rage ends, right? The actual description just says it is like the enlarge person spell which has a duration in minutes, but it is written like it is tied to the rage.

I think bringing Gnasher back to consciousness between the giants would be a mistake, Dimensional door away from them would be ok. Any opinions?

I believe when the rage ends he does return to his regular size.
Wounded by the giants, Gnasher falls unconscious to the ground, shrinking back to his regular size,
That was my thought too. And since Gnasher has nothing to say about it and Urah is 'the one making the decision' it seem pretty appropriate.
Urah dimension doors Gnasher to his hiding place behind the door.
The giants are a bit bewildered, though they did hear strange words right after Gnasher shrunk and then vanished. Taking things in stride they close in on shadow, working in tandem again to get the edge from a flank.
But to no avail as Shadows inconceivably hard hide deflects their attacks.

Red Fire Giant (-151 HP)
Though Malgrim is having issues connecting, at least for now, Seif unleashes a massive healing spell on Gnasher.
Shadow hits red with the bite and the second claw, sending him to the floor. The rest of her attacks are off the mark and one giant remains.

Returning to consciousness, Gnasher stands to his feet. Taking in the situation with a quick glance, he nods to Seif-al-Din. Stepping forward through the doorway he picks up the bardiche he'd dropped. Roaring at the last Giant, "You should have fled!"
Sorry he can't do more, move action: stand, 5 ft step, move action: pick up bardiche.
I forgot he dropped that weapon when the fight began!
The last giant does his best to hit Shadow, which is not good enough, then steps back
to hit greatsword:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (8) + 23 = 31 to hit greatsword:1d20 + 23 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 23 - 5 = 34 to hit greatsword:1d20 + 23 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 23 - 10 = 20

His peculiar laugh gurgling up from his throat, Gnasher charges the lone giant as paws grow into overly large claws, his eyes glow red, his fangs enlarge and he begins to froth at the mouth. While his brown hide takes on a red-orange cast to it. Lifting the bardiche as he charges, he chops at the last white giant.
The poor giant is smoked by the three of you, and joins the ranks of the dead.
Combat over.
The room looks like it used to be a barracks, but is now largely unused, having only a few bunks remaining. There are murder holes in the floor leading down into rooms below, some to a room on the next level based on the height, and another to a room two levels down (marked by the squares). There is a stack of heavy boxes and crates near the west end. There are also some stairs leading down.
As the last giant falls, Gnasher releases his rage. Turning to the others, he realizes he'd be dead if not for their intervention. "Well done."Not really having an agenda, he gestures towards the boxes, asking "Tribe inspect?"
Taking his time as he deals with the effects of the fatigue, he moves towards the boxes, using his crowbar, he opens one or two of the crates, as he does so he inquires, "Any magic?"
After determining the contents of the boxes he asks, "Tribe head down steps or back great room D5?"
The boxes are not interesting, containing supplies you have already passed over. But Gnasher sees a division in the floor though some cracks between the boxes.
You see into room C24 on this map. The sconces in this chamber are out, so that the many arrow slits provide the only light. A single giant-sized pallet has been arranged near the south wall with some broken pieces of furniture around it. In the bed is a wounded giant with raged clothing and no weapons. He looks up at you with disinterest, though he does grab hold of a jagged piece of woodand there is a look of curiosity in his eyes.
Malgrim sees the giant and decides to try and speak to it and see if the group can find some information about where they are and how to escape back to Golarion. "Hey, can you understand me?"
I speak Common, Goblin and Kelish. I will try in that order to say the same things until I find one that he understands or realize he and I are not talking.
