I did not play a hunter during retail vanilla, so I'm not 100% sure how the fights are supposed to be.. but the Solenor I just killed was very easy when every guide says he is the hardest of the lot.
For starters his dialogue is <error> and his response is <error>. My first wing clip on him did not root him, and subsequent wing clips rooted him for only a couple of seconds each before the special debuff wore off.
As for the fight, I used an Elixir of Demon Slaying and a Greater Shadow Protection Potion, with no other buffs or players to assist me. I pulled once to see how the mechanics of the fight would work before calling in people to help me, but he took enough damage from my initial Aimed Shot and Multi-shot combo that I kept going.
Maybe two minutes later he was dead, with me at 10% mana, 90% health and my protection potion still intact... and that was with using multi-shot to clear the beetles whenever they spawned. So overall much too easy of a fight - maybe if he had five times the hit points it would actually be a challenge.
EDIT: @zumzat Yes, that would be me =) I tried to gesture that I had killed Solenor before coming to Un'goro and watch you fight Simone
