Thats how I did it on beta (alone). I would check the least heavily guarded barrels and crates first, then, when I had to search barrels that were guarded by higher level guards and would die, I would switch worlds and go back and get the easier ones again.
I have helped a lot of people with this quest recently where groups of people went to help, and to be honest it seems easier (though maybe less fun) if you have only 1 or 2 people helping. When ever there are more than that, more of the guards come after you and its hard to keep up with who needs healing. If you have the strongest person using the cutlass and 1 person healing and using voodoo (or 2 people healing each other and the swordsman) it seems to go fairly smoothly. The person with the highest health should be the one to get agro (trigger the guards to come after him) and use the cutlass, then after the guards are dead the searcher can search.
One thing to remember is if you start to search and are hit, you will get a note saying no items found. That doesnt mean the barrel doesnt contain what you need, just that you didnt get to finish searching. Go back to it after the guard is killed to get the item. Its only when you see the "nothing interesting here" message that the barrel or crate doesnt contain what you need.
Good luck! Its hard, but it's a fun quest and great for leveling weapons.
