On the bright side, I can at least say that, however improbable, Cirvante died before me.

Not that it made much difference, but it´s still warm feeling.
That's a very impressive selective memory you got there, my dear. I seem to remember reviving you and actually taking out two DDs. 
And yes, normally Zone 3 against Demons is only annoying, but managable. But when two of your teammates go into the fade and the DDs come over to play while you don't have an Avvar/Elementalist or even barrier for that matter, it can become impossible to clear. I was playing a duelist, but the ice beam is her natural enemy as it can strip full Elusive in under a second.
I don't think her damage or even the number of DDs needs to be nerfed. It's just the wallhacking ice mines that ****** me off. They don't even have a range restriction, you could run to the other end of the map and they could still knock you down. Kinda gives me flashbacks of the three Primes on Geth/Platinum.
