Really felt cheaped out of my time is all, I don't play HC because I'm just not that great of a player, and I don't mind dying to a mechanic I can see/understand and play for later without outside help.
I've had this issue only when there is a bigger space. I was fighting the unstable anomaly in the labyrinths. I wanted to avoid some attack and ran away from the anomaly, then quickly came back to attack again, after which I just died to something that is not rendered on my screen. But I find this acceptable, because it does not happen so often.
The area of bartuc is pretty small and this cannot happen, unless you leave the area and quickly enter again. Here we speak about something really different. You were once in the area, the spells were cast or were to be cast shortly. You leave as to "avoid" the attack, but the spell is still casted and is just not rendered. While it's not rendered, it's not really unexpected that you will take that damage. You can consider that this is a way of the game to tell you that you require resistances or a big amount of hp. When you come to later ubers, you'll need exactly that. This is a more gradual curve. I thus think that you are not right to expect it to be any other way. So get geared and play the game.
In my case I cannot expect that this will happen, as there is no indication that such spell is ever casted. As I already said it, I do not really care about it, as it does not happen often and can also be avoided easily.
