Manticore is pretty easy.
Only thing you really have to be concerned about is the third stage's earthquake thing (go to the platform that the raised jewel is pointing towards to get healed during that attack), the Manticore's orb ambush attack right when everyone teleports to fight him (which usually starts off the fight with someone at 50-60% HP if they fail to dodge/block it, maybe even less in Hell mode), and the orb barrage when he flies.
Also, if you see runes appear on the floor, get out quickly, because that means he's going to use Gravity Crush on you.
Apocalypse is nuts though. It's at least 5 times harder than Manticore. It's essentially a DPS race (because he uses an undodgable instant kill attack if the fight against him goes longer than 11 minutes, although Priests and Paladins can block the whole thing with Level 6+ Block) and everything he does inflicts massive damage. He also summons these annoying tentacles that will pin you down, remove your buffs, and prevent you from doing anything until they either let go or another party member breaks you free (assuming they don't get caught in the process either).
One mistake will most likely kill you.
