Yea definitely the hardest at-level skirmish.
Really dumb level req too - 56-58 - a very tiny 2 lvl gap in an area where you can literally go through those levels in a couple hours tops.
Easy fix too:
They should simply remove the upper level req on all lvl50+ skirmishes.
And the lower lvl ones should get the "Call to arms" version - permanently. They can run events to add additional rewards, but its stupid to lock down the content completely.
Just completed this one with my GF. Was it just me, or does the shield block not work on the fire giant boss's pull attack? And shouldn't that pull attack have a cooldown or something?
(And that run actually went relatively well. Everyone had 2-5 deaths, but there was always someone near the boss so his health didn't reset.)

Hah.
My main is a level 45 Devoted Cleric but, because I've been levelling with friends and sticking to their level, my alt character, a Guardian Fighter, hit 60 first. This odd way of levelling meant that my GF was geared for damage and I had no experience whatsoever in a group. I'd not done a single dungeon or skirmish, hadn't tanked anything at all and wasn't familiar with my role. Battle for the Bridge was my opening foray.
I thought it was my fault. Maybe I wasn't blocking enough. Maybe my build wasn't right. Maybe my gear wasn't built around defence. Maybe I can't rely on shield and have to move instead. I died 5 times and felt horrible.
I'm going with the group on this. If these are supposed to be dailies they should turn down the difficulty factor. I tried this all day 6 times and never made it pass the last boss.
PW and Cryptic please review this one. Or maybe mention in the note that a exp group of people who like high end raid type of scenarios should attempt. Or maybe adopt a new system like a normal mode worth 1000 AD (W/Green gear) and a hard Mode 3000 AD (w/blue gear) you should start using a flex system with the rewards that scale this game can keep going strong just change a to a scale system of some type

I have two level 60 characters and have never even managed to try this skirmish. Couldn't find group. Levelled past it. Hits me right in my completionist gut.
