Had a blast doing Nidhogg on Wednesday morning after patch. Granted I did come in around the mid 220s, but others were also new and in lesser gear. As a BRD, I was being incredibly watchful over the needs of the healers especially later into the fight, especially if they died for whatever reason but that's what the role requires. I found the difficulty of Nidhogg and Weeping City really great! Not faceroll, not as hard as Savage, but really fun . Please keep it as-is. Our item level and the game as a whole is ramping up mechanics (look at Midas for example), the playerbase can't simply remain as-is - we must rise to the challenge presented.

Was in a part of those split-second clear or wipe situations earlier and does it hurt? Sure it does. But focus on redoubling effort or maybe if the group just can't do it, try to find another or make one. Barring that, just give it time. The patch has only been out a day or so now
