I can't give any solid answers, but:
Well first of all, I think, and this is just my opinion, she's always been killable, but no one has really tried, the heals are really discouraging, and we've never had a boss that continually healed like that before. I'm not sure if anything changes with the DB patch, but that's when people started killing her in kMS, is all.
In jMS, from what I've heard and remembered, at first she didn't heal at all, or healed very few times, so she was killable easily early on, until recently when she started healing.
I really doubt spamming damage reflect is intended, if you ever try soloing her, you'll see you can time her damage reflect easily, ~25 second duration casted every 80 seconds. From what I've seen, this isn't limited to being the only person in the map, while I was locked out of my Demon Slayer, we had one of our runners solo her in order to get to V2, it was faster than waiting for crash. For some reason, her damage reflect just glitches up when there's multiple people attacking her. Since this doesn't occur with any other boss, I'd have to assume it's because her DR is full map, but we don't have any other bosses with full map DR to confirm.
I'm pretty sure that kb was removed a patch or two before Tempest, or when Tempest was released, it was around the time of the Phantom nerf.
