You were doing fine, yes. You didn't include any info on your current vocation and level, so here's a broad answer :

High/Grand Seism (Sorcerer spell) is arguably the fastest overall way to slay a Hydra. A single shot can do the job.

Otherwise, try climbing up the heads and slashing them off one at a time. This is an effective and SAFE way to remove all the heads (the Hydra can't hurt you when you are mounted on a head). Use the "grab" button (right trigger) to climb. Good luck !
