Heiho,
I'm also sorry to read about your loss :-(
AFAIK plugY unwires some hardcoded parts of the game, and the addresses of that stuff buried in the dll files changed somewhat from 1.10 to 1.11 and again 1.11b. You'll need at least plugY version 7.00 if you decide to play from 1.11b base installation, otherwise it won't work.
There was no major change in the balance (or imbalance, as you may say) from char classes.
If you want safe but slow progress you may go with a Necro Overlord build, and you can stuff this one with some common MF gear like socketing Topazes in Helm and Shirt without much loss of effectiveness.
If you want the 'I rule them all' feeling you still may prefer the Hammadin.
If your goal is fast MFing you may build a sorc as in every patch. A very common build seems to be a Meteor/FO sorc, but I'm not much at home here, since I don't like that class. Don't go one-elemental unless you really have a good option to deal with Immunes.
For just the fun of playing you may chose any build you like. It'll become tough in hell, but well, this is the meaning of 'hell difficulty'.
