When I came back in the were standing near the gate like normal, except they all had the mounted shields up (95% damage reduction). I noticed the mounts were still around the sides, so I decided to see what would happen if I engaged mounted. To my surprise it went very well... so if the encounter bugs out on the champs don't give up and reset it. You may still be able to get through that phase.

So, did you manage to kill them while mounted using thrust etc???

This happened to me once, but I decided to just reset the instance and do it again. I never thought about trying to fight them, I did mount up one guy and toss a shield-breaker to see what would happen and it removed the shield, but the champ quickly reapplied it. I just assumed they would become totally invincible so I reset.
