Fearfangs Cavern (Upper Crag) wipeout... help

We have a group of 3 levelling Vet alts questing Crag for the first time.
We romped through Lower Crag and completed everything as a trio from Shada's Tear to Anomalies etc with no problems. We wander into Upper Crag for the first time, enter Fearfang's cavern and get a severe lesson in humility. Absolutely thumped at the snake boss. So I went looking for some tips on what we're doing wrong. I found a couple of youtube clips (nothing anywhere else). In those clips they basically just run in and fight. There doesn't seem to be a "trick" to it.
The difference between those clips and what we see, however, is night and day. In those clips they get between 4-8 little snakes (2 in one clip) in addition to the mobs present at the start throughout the entire fight. When we fight it we get somewhere between 20-30 plus another 2 larger snakes all descending on us in very quick succession. I capped it and tried to count them all but it wasn't possible. There were too many clipping inside each other etc but after 45 seconds or so the initial boss + 5 mobs had turned into boss + 30 mobs which is about as long as we could survive. An army of wrigglies along with the insta-kill poison pools appearing every 5 seconds non-stop we're finding it impossible.
So we get 20-30 snakes, at once, compared to the clips I've seen with 4-8 for the entire fight.
What are we doing wrong to get the Indiana Jones snake-pit descending on us?
We lack dps in a big way and that's part of the fun (Heavy DK noob, my templar hybrid healing and a "dps" templar) but surely they don't expect the boss to be downed in 30 seconds?

ferzalrwb17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Don't wanna bump but.. would really like to know if anyone's encountered this lately and, if ZOS has changed it, that this is how it is supposed to be now.
Or are we being idiots and missing an obvious mechanic (wouldn't be the first time :P).0
