It is supposed to be really hard. Do you have Mind Blast or Force Field for a mage? Or Distraction from a bard? That battle is all about crowd control. Also, drink potions like mad, it is the last battle.
It's the last battle? Well that makes me feel a bit better.
But what about those two ogres guarding a passage near where you find the grey warden? I thought that's where the game would lead me eventually.

The two Ogres by Martine are just a fun bonus fight. Those Ogres are much weaker than the Ogres you fight now. The two alphas + Ogre is by far the toughest battle in the game, and it can be the last. Have you already destroyed the two other machines in the left and middle tunnel? Try doing those first. It will give you more levels and items. You have to complete these other easier caves anyway before the game is finished.
For the 2Alpha + Ogres, you really need to have a shield warrior with those agro gaining skills and a healer, or the CC I mentioned about or it will be, as you say all luck. If all three enemies use their ranged attack simultaneously on your weaker characters they will certainly die. That is why you need to keep two stunned at all times, or all of them attracted to one tough warrior.
The only other help I can think of is they usually won't all attack your caster on the first turn, so you can use that turn to set up. Other than that, hotkey your best potions, use CC, and hope for luck.
I did it the first time on normal without any crowd control before doing the other two caves, so I know it can be done. It did take a few tries though!
