I'm an advocate of "tactician is hard" essentially because I've been pushing for a dual Lone Wolf team since the beginning. Obviously, having only a 2men group is *hard*. You can't use as many crowd control and wheneven one knockdown arrow lend on either of your source Hunters, you're toast because the next one will probably be a Freeze on your second character. And you can't really always have Avatar of Frost / Tempest on.
What is disappointing to me is that LW was (is?) an alternate playstyle in Classic DOS/other difficulty modes, but it just greatly raises the difficulty in Tactician and doesn't leave you a lot of options as far as builds are concerned. I reckon it may even out later, I must confess I haven't left Cyseal yet but nearing it. Each encounter still is a hard fight that requires a lot of concentration and tactics and may be ruined by a grumpy RNG leading to a reload every so often, if not multiple reloads each time.
Now, it's true I am biased by Classic DOS. Most of the things I knew and was going for aren't viable anymore. Most of the things I learned to avoid are now perfectly viable. So my adjusting curve is tough, very tough. =)
