Cauthrien is easy if you lure her away from her troops, i.e. run back through the hallway you entered from.
I even 1v1 her with my lvl25 rogue (I only took Leliana for this mission and she kinda died in the main room to a few scattershots). Well not exactly 1v1, she had a few soldiers backup
With a full party prolly even simpler (my warrior beat her handily in my first playthrough)
I'm kind of a big deal I got from my warrior playthrough too. Just reload the game when you die. Its not exactly linked to ever dying.
