The key to Isshin during phase 2, and 3 (though 3 is mostly lightning reversals), is to stay up in his face, and deflect him to death. You barely even have to attack him at this point. Just deflect all his regular hits, and mikiri counter him when he thrusts (which he will do all the time). You can get a few hits in here and there, but you don't need to do much offensively. He'll more or less tire himself out on you.
