Dorter is tough because you're up against several long-ranged enemies. The biggest tip is to spread out (so they don't hit all of you with magic) and try and close the gap. Having an archer or two yourself helps, and you can actually use Aim against the Black Mages while they're casting spells.
I found all the fights after Dorter easy, but it took me quite a few attempts to fell that whoreson dog at Ziekden Fortress.

I saved after that and I will start Chapter 2 tonight.
