Bummed Dungeons not Doable

Yeah the title says it all even though its not grammatically correct.
I can't do the dungeons I enjoy doing anymore because of broken or over balanced mechanics.
Temple of the Nine Gods, the second boss fight is too much. Even with fully geared level 80s who have ran it many times in the past who know what to expect, have a very difficult time during the second boss fight because the boss spams attacks so fast you can never recover.
Castle Ravenloft, the first sisters fight is nearly impossible to complete because the remaining sisters after the first sister is killed, empower the crystal too fast so it results in a total wipe. I'm not expecting it to be easy but when you have experienced party struggling it's obvious that the mechanics are not balanced.
Master Spellplague, the first boss fight is impossible to beat. Not because of difficulty. The large fireball that removes the Boss's immunity does not remove his immunity. So there is NO way to defeat him.
Tiamat, you cant complete it because the monsters have too much HP and they can easily one shot any character who gets their threat. They just jump over to you and bam, you are dead. Even if the entire party stands at a distance, no one can dish out enough damage to kill them. We can't even get past the first phase.
Difficulty is fine, but there is a point when something becomes so hard that its no longer fun, it just becomes annoying since the pay off for success is basically nothing. If you keep the dungeons this way, no one will want to run them. IF you increase the difficulty like this you need to add the incentive pay off. Who's going to go into a dungeon and waste scrolls on mechanics that are over the top difficult?

While I dont mind some alterations , they went to far and makes for doing dailies and weeklies and old campaigns a complete cluster of a nightmare and boring and boring and boring.
Remove scaling in open world pve and instances, keep it , but alter slightly for dungeons.
There is nothing worth scaling in open world.. all it does it prevent us from doing your most boring content quickly.
Cryptic, WE NEED an incentive if things are difficult. How can you not understand this philosophy of a gamer?
