Fortification bypass

I am on an Epic Hard streak of 13 now, but thinking after my Sands experience that I should give up on it. The lower level epic stuff on Hard was manageable, and more fun to me on Hard, but I burned through Raise Dead and Heal scrolls like never before in WizKing and Chain of Flame. I was getting hit hard by trash mobs. King Raiyum was a beast and wiped my hireling party in seconds. The quests took so long (1:45+ each) to figure out (and heal up) that it just wasn't fun by the end.

I know there is some nice stuff you can get in there, but I personally can't stand the entire area. The quests take way too long, and the wilderness area is a huge pain to navigate repeatedly. I do like to get the explorers once and hit all the mini quests (the ones where you just walk up to the entrance to start, and head back to town to turn in). Apart from that I tend to skip the entire adventure pack on both heroic and epic. I personally don't find the main quests to be very fun.
