As you noticed, HOF monsters are appreciably stronger than in normal mode. The orcs have well over 200 hitpoints, and rarely miss on their attacks. Typically, players going to HOF mode will have characters in the party who can cast summoning spells, and use the cannon fodder to distract enemies while they pound away, usually from a distance (at least for awhile).
Otherwise, be prepared to do a lot of healing very often.
