I've done the Dain 3 mission before, without a single dwarf loss or player death. It just requires some good agro management, timely heals, and splitting the giant army so it is attacking both of the tanks. Also, telling the dwarves to attack, allows them to focus their attacks much more effectively than just training the giants on them

Biggest trick to remember on dain 3 is that the general will auto aggro on the last character to zone in (if you die on a previous wave and respawn that makes you last). So make sure your tanks are the last to zone in, because it really sucks if the last wave goes active and the general goes right for a cleric.

I had some serious problems with Dain3, right after they altered it... then a few weeks ago someone showed me another way to do it, and we succeeded 3 times in a row.

The strategy is to let the dwarves offtank all the adds, and only focus on named, in every wave...
We kept the dwarves at base, dain in corner by zoneline and the rest of us on the guardhouse/hill behind the dwarf army. When a wave is incomming 1 warrior goes and pulls it through the dwarf-army, so all the dwarves agro right away. Rest of us hold for 20 seconds or so, to let the dwarves get agro, then we engage the named.

Clerics use HoT alot, but mainly CH. By HoT'ing the puller at the right time, you can make him survive without cleric getting agro from adds. As I understood it, it was ok if puller died, but he never did on our 3 runs. Amazingly 90% of our army lived through wave 4... almost 100% survived first 3 waves...

[EDIT]
I lost all rolls on augment and quest-piece... unlucky day i guess
