As for spinning the arms, you just need to get the pattern down. The laser eyes are fairly easy to avoid if you know what to do. First, pay attention to which direction each eye is pointing. If an eye is up, the laser will shoot over your head, but if it's down, you must jump over the beam. Cackletta's left eye(on your right hand side) corresponds to Luigi and her right eye corresponds to Mario. If you determine that either or both brothers need to jump to avoid a laser beam, don't jump until you see Cackletta's eyes flash brightly. Time will freeze while you're in the appropriate position and you should escape unscathed.
It also couldn't hurt to level up more. I think I was at level 43 or so. Make sure all your Bros. attacks are advanced, and don't forget the two you can get from Thwomp in the Mallet Bros' cave. You also will need plenty of Max and Ultra Nuts and 1-up Supers. But Cackletta is, without a doubt, the most challenging opponent in the game. Good luck!
