Veteran in Aldmeri is frustrating

Im originally from Daggerfall and im doing VR content in AD..
First off, your quests are more fun, DC was all about entering peoples dreams and whatnot, you guys have Razum-Dar (I love this dude).
But the very frustrating part, which is so frustrating is.. Whos GENIUS idea was it to put packs of four Everywhere! I mean, who can survive four different guys attacking you at the same time, I could CC them, for about 5 seconds but thats not nearly enough to take them out without dying,,,
I am a sorcerer with destro staff and light armor, im puny, I cant take hits, a power attack can take 60% of my health (if not blocked).
First off, I MUST fight with a Clannfear, not having that would mean having 4 guys butchering on me and I cant have that. So the clannfear is taking care of one guy while ive got 3 other guys on me, and if i let these three guys attack me then im dead within 3 seconds (tops). So i cant be attacked, I cant teleport around because usually the area around me is small and im only one teleport away from pulling another group of 4 *sigh*.
I can try to use Rune Cage on one, let Clannfear tank another and fight two guys, I can handle two guys easily.. Thing is, if i cast Rune Cage on one then the Clannfear will attack the guy i have rune cage on which removes the rune cage, then i have to wait 3 seconds to cast rune cage on the same guy while my Clannfear changes his target to someone else, after breaking the rune cage, so these 3 seconds I have to wait is crucial, I cant run around cause they run faster than me and while casting I cant block, meaning that if they use a power attack during my cast time, im as good as dead,, so rune cage doesnt work.
I can handle fighting three guys tho, I can nuke one down faster than the other two can attack me, (i keep my distance so they have to run to me and then attack). My clannfear takes care of one of them and i can easily handle on 1v1. Handling someone 2v1 would be fine too, 3v1 is too much tho..
So Ive been going through my Soul Gems like crazy, my armor is constantly broken which means I have to keep repairing them cause the lack of Armor and Magicka (which i gain from gear) is Also killing me, which means I will be going through my Soul Gems faster which means higher cost compared to just repairing.
I cant see how anyone can handle fighting 4 guys at the same time, its very.. very hard and 1/10 of times, I can come out alive.
This never happened to me in DC, could be that DC wasnt a VR zone for me.. Ive yet to go to Ebonheart zones so not sure if its like that there..
Anyway, my point with this thread is to just flame, its also to ask a question..
Does Anyone else have a problem like me? Technically my issue is a L2P issue but im fairly confident with my skills, I know I can improve myself in some areas but other than that, I think im a good player.
I have tried other tactics than the above mentioned, ive tried AoE nuke, slowing them, and so on. None of them works very good, my current best bet is to nuke one of them down, let the clannfear attack first so I only have 2 guys on me, then cast rune cage on one of them while hoping they dont do a power attack. THen nuke down the other one with Crystal Fragment spam (so he stays knocked down). Then use Dark Exchange as my Magicka is low and my HP is very low. Kiting them doesnt work because a pack of enemies are always around the corner (which is the biggest issue as I could take them if it wasnt for that).

Nasuradin_ESO✭✭✭While 4 people at a time is a challenge I have the jist of the current aoe favorite on paper, but haven't tried it myself yet, though I do see people use it on huge crowds.
Fire destro staff with impuse, not sure which morph, at least tri-focus for bonus crit w/ fire and destruction expert passive for magicka return on kills.
Magelight morphed for extra crit
Surge morphed to heal on crits
Not sure what else, just spam it in a crowd hope crits heal you? Again I don't know this build personally, its just what I can deduce from seeing people spam impulse and for the most part survive.
Personally my sorc is a vampire, while my clannfear distracts one I pick one target to attack and have 4 to drain health off of and I usually come out the winner, if crap hits the fan I use the vampire ultimate morphed for life leech so long as they aren't all pyromancers at least...
