Well..
Welcome to the Banshee forums!
Remember, Search is your friend, and generally we can help you better if you tell us a bit about your party makeup, etc.
Let's start with Sendai - once you've cleared her guards, you should get ready for the boss fight - nothing really extraordinary, but buff up before zoning in, get your mage(s) set up for triggers & contingencies. Get multiple true sights going if you can (with some in reserve) - you'll need them.
Your opponents are quite magic resistant, so you'll want approaches (like knocking the tar out of them) that bypass magic resists, except for the ones you can take the time to lower resist on. Because of the restricted area and MR on your enemies, you'll probably want to avoid area spells. Timestop can also be quite good in this fight, as I don't think any of these guys are immune.
While fighting, you need to keep her guards under control, as well as dispatch her various avatars (1-2 at a time). I generally use summons (typically, M swords and a planetar) to control the guards, plus maybe a simulacrum of one of the fighter types. To get the swords out fast, you can load them in a chain contingency, if you like.
Position control is important here - get your mages, ranged fighterts & priests set up ASAP in an empty statue spot, fight Sendai either in the middle or at the statue as she goes red. With a bit of care , you can sometimes even get traps set. Having a character with a rod of ressurection who is out of combat can be very helpful - it works as a fast-casting ranged complete heal - and can be cast by a simulacrum or project image without draining the actual rod. Basically, fighter types beat sendai down, mages debuff (breach, lower resist, malison, slow, yadda yadda yadda), priests & mages may want to have summoned range weapons (melf's mms, energy blades, etc.) up for cast & attack. Thieves may be doing any composite of ranged attacks, backstabs or even straight melee.
On Abazigal, I can't remember the Vanilla fight (I'm playing a modified version of the game now) - my approach was similar, I think - , but with summons as the initial ones that Abazigal was hammering on, and most of the heavy spell stuff held back for his second incarnation.
Good gaming!

I have given up all lesser evils as inadequate to my purpose.
nephtu said it all for sendai
for abazigal, First, cast some immunity to electricity spells, and stoneskin, mirros image etc. on your mages. haste, chant and remove fear on everyone. make a trigger of lower resistances, and maybe another of pierce magic/magic missile
now try taking a hasted archer/crossbowman/slinger around the outside to eliminate as many of his frost salamanders as possible.
when you choose to fight abazigal, run in and whoop his human form as quickly as possible to save you buffs.
when he becomes a dragon, try spreading out your mages/second liners so that the multiple chain lightnings hit as few people as possible. cast you lower resistance spell trigger first, then some spelll protection removers. have a cleric behind your frontliners healing. simply continue to hack and throw spells at him from here and it should be fine.
If you are still having trouble i seem to remember back right up to the exit makes you safe (except from his breath), as he gets stuck.

Have you ever heard any more inspiring or logical words? I sure haven't.

Salamanders...
I forgot to mention that, on the salamanders, they have a cold-based damage shield (fireshield:blue), so try to do them in with non-melee attacks as MiniMe said.
You can exploit that, if you like, by having a character with 100% cold resist and a different damage shield like fireshield:red. The feedback loop kills them fairly fast, just run that NPC in to the slamanders, and let them chew themselves to death.
