Backstabs are lovely against Battle Horrors. When I went through Durlag's Tower on my last run, it could've been just Coran, the Gauntlets of Ogre Power and Boots of Speed.
If you have a fighter/mage or someone similar, who can cast some serious defensive spells (Mirror Image comes to mind as a great one,) and then throw on some Plate Mail and a Shield, then move in everyone else with magical weapons and spells, you should be able to wreck them fairly fast. I always found the problem was not so much me killing them, but rather killing them fast enough to avoid one of my party members getting killed.
