I'm not sure if they changed it or if nobody noticed/explained it before/I didn't notice them explain it, but afaict all of the chests seem to be phased for each person, I looted the gleaming chest and then someone came and did the loot animation but I never saw the chest respawn before they looted it.
A lot of the harder mobs have abilities that will hit for 400-500k and will wreck even highly geared players, you just have to avoid or interrupt it. Running is not always an option, some of them charge and will catch up even if you're mounted.
