I was unable to finish this on a 72 DT, mostly tank spec. Tried a variety of things: breaking off to kick barrels, fighting the adds, focusing exclusively on the boss. Best I was able to do was to get her to 25%.

I'm on a HoX so its probably easier than a DT. Anyway, the way I did it was to kick over the barrels every other combo, and always attack or CC the adds before they reach the doll, and kill them as quickly as possible.

One other issue. I figured I might be able to finish if I got a couple levels over when I took the quest. Took it at level 70, failed. I go in at level 73.... and the boss is now 73 as well.

It's a scaling dungeon, the entire thing scales to your level all the way up to 80. Think Villas, or Forgotten City and The Breach.

I realize that. I was just hoping that it would lock to the level when the quest was taken.

Oh, well. It was a lot harder to level my demonologist, not being able to survive most of the solo instance bosses, and having to tank everything because the stupid pets won't help. That character never was able to finish Forgotten City, or survive long enough to figure out what was happening in the final fight in Breach. One thing the DT isn't able to finish isn't going to faze me much.

The zone itself is probably the most hilarious and best written thing in the game outside of Tortage, and arguably better than Tortage. I'm a bit unsure why they didn't make it a groupable instance. It would be a great place to hold guild meetings and such.

Word from on high is that they're introducing harder versions of 2 of the "new" solo dungeons (that were not already very hard like Isle) and putting in a 6-man version of one. I think that was going to be The Breach though, but I agree, a 6-man version of Dead Man's Hand would be a hoot.

Had to get a GM to help me out. But I did not get a PET in my loot, just a useless Bind on Pickup Epic Cloth hat that i cannot use as a soldier.

There's a random chance of a pet dropping from each boss, along with random blues (which is what I think you meant because if you got an epic I should really be running that more often, ha ha).
