Interesting. I did not know this fight can go so wrong. Obviously Isobel's death is a fail condition so I kept her from becoming too damaged and concentrated everyone on Marcus. What is the hitpoint threshold? I may have been lucky that - if I recall things correctly - she was paralyzed at some point so I put a Sanctuary on her.
As for not being rested, I don't think the game needs to account for that unless there is a reasonable expectation that players won't rest after their first arrival at this location. And I don't see that there such an expectation.
In general, I'm also very opposed to having to do things again through no fault of my own on the standard difficulty mode. That's something for Tactictian mode. In balanced mode, a reasonably competent player should be able to play with almost no reloads. There has been the unpleasant surprise here and there, most notably the final fight of Act 2, but most of the time things went smoothly for me.
