Let's start out with some simple advice -- spread out. If the party members are at least twenty feet from each other, you can't be killed by most AoE spells.
I've seen more characters die or nearly die due to being too far from their allies than from being too close.
Yeah, I'd much rather have half the party get hit by a fireball than have the party get split in half by a battlefield control spell.
Plus one of the other statements that comes up a lot is that one person can handle Perception for the whole party. Not going to work if everyone's spread out and separated.
This is why we need to tie ourselves together with silk rope. If we are always within tugging distance, we can't possibly be beaten!
