He's right. Tank mercs basically solo anything even vaguely level appropriate at that level.
I remember Snailish and I being around level 20 and sending our mercs to fight some level 40 named mob. Took it down on the first try. Amusing, Snailish died but his merc stayed alive to finish the fight.

and I was basically naked gearwise. In a set of defiant I would have survived the few hits on me before the merc took aggro.
So I agree, mercs + defiant = a different game.
On live servers, most of this was needed.
They need to keep rolling progression servers though (we're currently overdue for a fresh start) to congregate the players that enjoy the pre-TSS content (with only some of the modernizations in effect) in a meaningful population.
