Get hit an inordinate amount of times while lagging.

So the server is unstable, that's fine, it's something we all live with for the great community experience here. What I hate, though, is dying when it lags out. At first I just accepted it, but now I think I may have uncovered an issue.
I build my characters rather defensively, and only really fight in areas where I massively outmatch the enemies (because of the XP loss on death). What I have found is that despite all this, I still die when the server starts to lag out. It is a server issue, because there is always a mass exodus of players.
The problem is, I am running around in a zone where the creatures need to roll a nat 20 to hit me. Yet time and again, when the lag stops for a moment (maybe after 10-15 seconds I get to do 1 order and then it lags 10-15 seconds again) my health DROPS. Am I to understand that I got crit a whole ton of times by one monster in the few seconds I lost control of my character? Time and time again, no matter the zone or thing I am fighting?
