Welcome to the Lurker Lounge, Rachelle!
First of all, I don't think there's anything wrong with playing for two years and never finishing a Hardcore character untwinked. Hardcore untwinked is the most chalenging mode of play, and I would bet that many Hardcore players have never done it. You definitely have nothing to feel bad about.
As for The Ancients: How's your Guided Arrow? It's a bit cheesy, and therefore unappealing to many, but I usually run around for a while trying to avoid them, and flip a Guided Arrow back over my shoulder whenever I get a few steps ahead of them. Increased run/walk speed helps. If any of them are Lightning Enchanted, don't forget your Slow Missiles. Any Immune to Physical (hopefully no more than one) will have to wait until last, as you'll need to hit him with Immo or Freezing or something. Some would recommend Fire Arrow, while others consider that exploiting a bug, so that's one's up to you.
Good Luck!!
