I'm gonna re-watch the scene and then come back and give my opinion on how they were depicted.
Okay, they have swords, so they should be able to fight well, when he said ladders they should have been hacking at the uruks as they came up, but the berserkers once up should be able to do decent damage with thier heavy weapons and strength. With the running into the spear thing, he was an idiot who should have attempted to hack at the spears as he was charging to clear a path.
Most should not have survived though as they were in the burg and were overwhelmed, not in the keep.
Final statement: Thousands. Of. Orcs.
