I finished the DLC on insanity with my sentinel and I didn't have any real issues. There was only one fight I had to retry a few times before I got through it but besides that I didn't feel the enemies was any smarter. That said, I actually didn't use cover that much. Playing sentinel means that I often strafe out from behind a wall to hurl a warp/throw/overload before I go back.

Agreed.

Yes, it did. Most of the DLC's I played have been rehashed content rather than adding new stuff. I didn't expect Overlord to be the best DLC I have played.
Spoiler:First, all areas were new and unique, some of them rather creepy.
The Firewalker sequences, including "frogger" gameplay wasn't something I had expected either. It was nicely integrated into the module and better executed than the Firewalker expansion itself.
The Virtual Reality mode also felt refreshingly new, something I hadn't expected.
The greatest surprise was the story though, which was better than most of the quests in the original campaign. The revelation actually brought a tear to my eye. I am a bit biased for personal reasons though.

I tried to be spoiler free in my review above.
I have played every DLC to ME2, Dragon Age (Except Darkspawn Chronicles) and Fallout 3. Witch Hunt is the weakest DLC I played up to date.

It even has a movie trailer for Blasto the Hanar spectre!
This time around they had Steve Blum again so I may run through to see if just maybe, Grunt is the exception to the silent squad mates.

I enjoyed LotSB quite a lot, even if I felt more moved by Overlord.
