I think there is also small chance of arrowside spawning under you instead. So general advice is to always move and don't have reanimates/mercs with you, as they add desync opportunities.
2) Him being immune, healing at low life and minions temporarily breaking his immunity on death were the gimmicks from the ancient times. Looks like you haven't paid attention to it at all in your previous playthroughs.
3) Get more tanky or kill the totem asap.
2) i did notice that with my characters at 2019 also, i couldn't kill with mixed skills barb at that time & was able to easily with thornwarden as damage was above 28k. now they have changed druid to bear & no longer a thorned hulk
Right now my character at 118 as earthquake barb. waiting akarat, legacy of blood, azmodan, inarius, tal rasha, invasion II, truine & jitan (done with primus, rodeo, black road) waiting 2 levels to get my favourite dungeon judgement day
