Funny thing, I had a similar experience with my charger/zealot (lvl 87) and the "ah gee" boys in Glacial trail. It wasn't Bonesaw breaker or even a random boss, just 5 of these previously pitiful dudes dragging their swords around. I charged into the fray thinking that if I closed the distance to them they'd resort to normal attack rather than their (rather nasty in 1.10) charge. I wasn't close enough....bam! bam! and bam! I was toast. This was a char who had 1754 life before the Oak Sage (wisp protector, thanks Baal) boosted it.
Retrieving my corpse was...er....interesting :)
I don't mind though, they were pathetic in 1.09, now they look useless but we know better. My tactics (with my paladin) involve trying to string them out, using sanctuary and trying to avoid getting charged by more than one in succession! I don't mind because they demand some tactics, unlike the cheesy gloams which Nobbie has thankfully removed from Throne of destruction.
They're nothing compared to a pack of fanat or might-enchanted moon/blood/hell lords...now those dudes are just scary....Axe Dweller in hell....*shiver*
