As an alternative to kiting a rat ogre the entire match, if you do not kill the first set of normal (slave/clan) rats after you have dropped into the area with the barrels, the ogre will not spawn. You can and should however kill specials (gutter runner, packmaster, ratling gunner, stormvermin, globadier).
We ended up killing rats on the 7th/8th barrels in order to stay alive as well as spawn the ogre before we finished the level, but it may not be necessary to spawn the ogre in for the achievement - we just did not want to risk it.
Helpful traits include Devastating blow (push further), improved pommel (half cost pushes as well as a chance of it costing 0), improved guard (half cost blocks), second wind (chance of restoring stamina when block breaks), and perfect balance (1 extra shield of block) as well as the trinket that gives % move speed and removes dodge fatigue. Light weapons are recommended for easier dodging as well as shields for the extra stamina.

Arguably the easiest of the Nightmare update achievements but here are some general tips, if you are unfamiliar with the level.
Black powder consists of retrieving explosive barrels and placing them in the boat. During this a rat ogre will randomly spawn. It appears to aggro onto the person who is currently dealing a lot of damage to it, however distance from the ogre is factored in too I believe.
Use this to get someone to take the aggro and lead it away from the boat/others with barrels. Any damage taken while carrying the barrel causes it to ignite, and any lost barrels only respawn when all other barrels have been destroyed or delivered.
