It's the tanks that are getting hurt; my wizards and archers take little to no damage. Stand-up fighting is a recipe for pain, at least in the pre-stoneskin part of the game.

I use Protection from Evil fairly often, but the duration is the pits. Edit: I also cast Bull's Strength on my two tanks (F/Barb and Monk) right after resting.

Perhaps I need to use the monk's stunning attack more often - so far I've mostly used it on casters and other key enemies (like orcs beating on the war drums), but it could be devastating in general melee in combination with the Ftr/Barb's (and monk's) power attack.
