It is always the color wich is missing the first time when you collect all the colors to find out where the damage buff is.
I've done this too, getting the standards to start with, if you get the fire dmg+ one you can kiss your ass goodbye because you'll be dead long before it wears off. If you get the frog you're equally as screwed, so unless you get lucky enough to get the damage +1 first time and nothing else then your luck is better than mine.

All of my npc's are Lv60 and they all(excluding the whm) have aggressive 5, I should probably also point out that I've done this as various jobs, including a lv72 War in Ilv341 gear and it makes no difference at all.
I've also ran this dungeon multiple times with real players and it's nowhere close to being this difficult.
