Timmy the cruel spawning/being dead by the time you encounter him

Entering the Stratholme instance via the service entrance I would clear my way past the Unforgiven, down the street, and to the scarlet courtyard. I would immediately notice Timmy The Cruel already dead on the ground. I reset the instance and retry to no avail- simply a 2nd timmy the cruel corpse on the ground.

What I feel is happening, is the trigger for timmy spawning is not being respected, the typical trigger for vanilla is the courtyard being cleared of all living scarlet enemies, this would have him spawn from the gate walking towards the church steps, however this is not happening, twice now he has spawned in the same location and is either spawning dead, or being killed by the scarlet guards upon the instance being created by the player walking inside.

This is marked as high priority considering timmy drops the paladin lightforged gauntlets preventing the set to be gathered currently. Working to itterate the problem after a time has elapsed to confirm it is a consistent issue.
