I am inclined to say that the storyteller misjudged the combat capabilities of the group a bit
AND that all white wolf games suffer from the oh so famous third level fighter problem, that is, whenever you have a combat optimized character like a dawn all encounters will have to take him as a measure. Enemies have to be able to wound and threaten the dawn in order for combat to be a challenge. Sadly anything that threatens a first edition defense stacking dawn very casually kills anyone who is not a combat solar/abyssal.
Sadly that is hardwired into exalted and we won't be able to help you with that one.
I suppose the first thing won't happen again though, storyteller rarely misjudge the combat capabilities of the characters more than once... at least not by accident ^^
@anima: Perhaps a houserule?
