Not a bug as much as a request to re-examine Phara Dar's difficulty. Her current configuration makes her extremely difficult to defeat and far more powerful than bosses in later expansions. For example, The Final Arbiter in Sleeper's Tomb, Yelinak in Skyshrine, and most of NToV are all easier than Phara Dar.
The biggest issue with PD is that her adds never depop, so failed attempts make subsequent attempts even more difficult. Successful attempts are just as problematic as you don't need to kill all of her adds as part of the encounter. You can easily kill PD, then the ghost, die, port back, loot, and leave the non-hostile adds there. PD repops and now the fight is PD + previous round's adds + adds she spawns during combat.
The adds are not splittable and since PD isn't perma rooted, you can't even pull them away from her to clear away any that were there from a prior attempt.
