It was all about the DPS checks.

Not enough damage during hands of pain? Instant wipe.

Not enough damage to kill the adds while handling all the mechanics? Instant wipe.

Even for the enrage timer there was much optimization needed to overcome it.

Without the DPS checks, this fight would be not much harder than the story mode.
