Nerva Spectral Demon Problem on Live?

Supposedly, the AI was changed to make foes use healing powers sooner and more often. Foes that have healing powers seem to be a little harder now, including the Repairmen at the end of the STF healing the towers before they are even targetable, making the STF much harder as well. 3 simultaneous teams Monday night had to call it quits after over an hour of trying.
After /petitioning, the GM said it was a bug (proably an unintended side effect of the AI change).
I just got done fighting a Nerva Spectral Demon (minion) with my Mace/Shield Brute. Level 31 just like me. It had approx 300 hit points, and when I got it down to about 25% it used Dark Extraction (I think that's the name) it's heal. It healed for 227 hp bringing it back to nearly full. That seemed larger than I remember, and it was also a lot more than the damage it dealt. It also used the power again about 20 Seconds later after I hit it a few more times.
My numbers are approximations, but in effect, it took me almost 5 minutes to kill it and I had to aggro another critter and gain more Fury to do it. It's not anything like I'm used to fighting those critters.
Is this a known issue or has it been observed elsewhere? This was a mission on Live not in the MA.
