I haven't actually been in one since the levelling overhaul. I'm in Vvardenfell and finding Nchuleftingth particularly difficult, so I'm gonna leave that until I'm a higher level with better skills and passives.

Are the public dungeons in the Alliance Zones just as hard?

    Not. Neither are hard, base or DLC. Easily soloable if you have a decent build and heals.
    And so, Akatosh revealed himself to a young Gaben, and granted him purpose.
    "Grant them Steam sales," he commanded.
    And obey, he did.

    Make sure you have some AoE damage skill you can keep up and a way of quickly healing yourself. Keep an eye out for opportunities to block and interrupt skills the mobs throw at you, lots of them can stun you and you do not want that when you are in the middle of a bunch of enemies.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I appreciate the answers and tips. I know I need to work on my build, and I will. But I'm wondering after the difficulty of the AZ public dungeons in relation to Nchuleftingth. Whether you find them all easy or not, one has to be harder than the other, no?

    Pub dungeons are pretty much the same. Just big groups of similarly numbered enemies. Learn how to wipe them quick. That's most of the fight in them. There are also different bosses with different mechs ofc, but none of them stand out in my head. If your burn is high enough and sustain is good enough, you'll drop em before they get you below 50% hp.

    Harvesters in really tight spaces can be a pain, there's two i can think of right now.

    A good ground AOE, like caltrops, usually takes care of their healing orbs though.

    Some are average in Cyro (i.e., like a cavern in faction zones and average around 133K or so). However, some are also a little more difficult. A few bosses are around 250K, so you will need to know how to sustain yourself, or either have some really high damage in short periods of time.

    The biggest issue I have is the spawning of bosses. I waited for one for 20mins. And the biggest problem is making sure that while you wait...you don't killed by your awesome faction opponents who deem it a skill to leap out of the darkness and kill you while you're in PvE situations.
