Have we talked about Left 4 Dead yet?
Spluff:
I don't mind dying, a lot of the time it's pretty funny. I beat expert 3 times today, a new record. Killed 4 tanks - running up and down the escalators or using the ticket barriers works quite well.
I think expert is different to the other levels in that you may die an awful lot, but it ends up being so much more rewarding in the end.
Melodic:
Rule number 1 with Tanks is to run away. Run as far away as you possibly can. Go back through the entire level if you have to but don't stop running and don't stop shooting.
CarrionMan:
Don't use molotovs. I got killed twice by a flaming tank because my brother lit it on fire.

From what I can tell, player and NPC HP is identical for all skill levels, but NPC damage output increases rapidly. A regular zombie will do about 3 per hit on Normal, and 20(!) per hit on Expert.
Where possible, my teams have had the most success with the autoshotty. It takes about 30 rounds or so, and on Expert you're almost guaranteed to lose a couple people, but it's worked well for us... by time we pick up tier wo weapons, we're usually running two autoshotties, an M-16, and a hunting rifle; it's worked very well for us so far.
EDIT: Witches seem to give a lot of people problems as well, for whatever reason (my group hates Boomers. personally... just finish mashing a horde, round the corner and immediately get puked on and have to fight off ANOTHER damned horde...); assuming we have the time, we like to set up so that our riflemen have a clear line of sight to her from a distance away with our shotgunners protecting them (a bit like how lines of pikemen would protect archers from cavalry charges.) In particular, it works very well if you can contrive to have her round as corner in an attempt to reach the riflemen; place your shotgunners at the corner and just flatten her when she zips around it. The Witch can't take the hits like a Tank can, so the best solution is usually to stay somewhat close together and mash her as quickly as possible. I've heard good things about using a Molotov on her, but my team's had some bad experiences with those damned things :P

If a tank reaches you, your dead, on fire or not. Fire will kill it if you run the whole map - you don't even need to shoot it.
