For Luclin, mob hp went up sharply. In PoP mob damage output went up massively to boot. I forget exactly what the hit values were but I want to say xp trash in middle tier zones like Bastion of Thunder was like 400-500 for the non-named … and they could quad. Im PoP you really fell into the rhythm of needing an ACTUAL tank to do the tanking and generally needing or at least wanting a cleric to toss complete heal.
Not sure about Luclin but slow mitigation was definitely in PoP. The mini-bosses in BoT all had "partial slow" only on them. I used to play bard + sham at the time and would take on most of that content no problem. Granted I was raid geared with a zillion AA's, but quiescence and whatever the big heal was called kept me alive and well.

good times.
