This is the damage taken during a 30 second "fight" on Normal mode. They start by nuking the tank in less than 2 seconds.
To even beat the boss, we had to create a strategy of sending in a hunter pet to sacrifice it, so that it could die to the initial barrage of "Arcane Bolt" (the channeled, rapid-firing spell cast by the Ethereal Beacons), and we had to use 3x AoE DPS classes to get all the orbs health down fast enough during that assault, after which we had to focus each new orb that spawned. And we still almost died.
This is not normal dungeon behavior!
The main issue is the damage scaling of the Ethereal Beacon attacks. They do 10x more damage than they are supposed to.
Expected Blizzlike Behaviour
The Ethereal Beacons are meant to be extremely weak and soft-hitting mobs. They are NOT supposed to be able to kill a tank in under two seconds. A tank is supposed to be able to tank like 10 of them while totally ignoring their damage (as I did on official classic).
In fact, the beacons are supposed to hit so softly that the group itself can tank the beacons while they DPS each orb to get rid of them, totally without involving the tank.
On AzerothCore (ChromieCraft), they wipe the floor with everyone.
Each hit of the Arcane Bolts do an average of 1800 damage PER HIT when looking at our damage logs. So the initial 4x beacons at the boss will do 1800x4 = 7200 damage on the FIRST TICK when they begin to channel their attacks. It doesn't take them more than 2-3 seconds to kill a tank, even when the tank uses Shield Wall to halve the damage!
The correct value is supposed to only be around 184 damage per hit. So AzerothCore (or ChromieCraft) has a 10x too high damage.

You can see a reference in this video, showing the correct damage scaling, where the guide author even mentions that the Ethereal Beacons do very low damage:
