what’s the character’s item level?
did you assign talents? or do they come assigned?
are you pressing attack and defense abilities?

Any chance you’re talking early access content? The enemies can deal respectable damage even in Champion TWW gear if you aren’t careful

I haven’t run this alt thru the opening scenario yet, but Treants, Typhoon, Mass entanglement should slow them down.

Keep in mind that expansion intro quests are tuned for players that might be in questing greens. I believe the starting item level for the new gear is 120? If you’re at or below that, expect some pushback. Look at it this way: if you think this is bad, imagine the spike for a sub-100 item level character that just hit 80 as there is a very distinct possibility they won’t be over that.
Same thing happened in the move from DF>TWW. If you were raid geared, you were fine for about two levels, maybe three depending on exact item level.
Questing greens or the gear that dropped from the pre-expansion event? You’d be more in line for what it was built for.
Freshly leveled 70 that did zero endgame DF content? Good luck! 
In any case: start of the current expansion is always a major gear reset. Regardless of item level, play less like a mindless nub trying to beat an M+ timer and a little more like a Classic player. Don’t overpull, use your CC, do proper rotations, etc.
Tip: many of the consumables from TWW are bargain bin on the AH right now as folks are dumping their old stock. Try getting flasks, oils, sharpening stones, etc. on the cheap while you can. They WILL help out early, and someone is eventually going to try to flip them while the new stuff is in short supply.

Did you open the bags and put on all your gear?
