Past games of the same series are never irrelevant. I guarantee you players of D1 and 2 (especially hardcore, in the latter) are doing better than people who are playing the series for the first time are, barring no doubt a few small exceptional cases. While Elric may not be as far as you, he also hasn't been constantly complaining about dying every few seconds, either. I'll bet you any amount of money he won't be complaining about it when he hits Inferno, either - because he's going to take his time, play carefully, assess risks, and rely on past experience from previous difficulties and D1/2 when forming tactics.
I'm sure Inferno is very difficult, but I also am sure it's not unmanageable because people are managing it. It can't be as bad as you make it out to be, because you make it out to be an unplayable mess, when people are clearly making it through. The majority of your posts refer to "most", "many" or a "majority" of players having the same troubles as you or agreeing with your position. I've not seen any of these invisible masses of players to which you refer - I know they're certainly not here on the lounge, where almost no complaining is going on. Granted, I'm sure the majority of the best D2 players - where I define "best" as "dies the least", not "has the mules full of the most duped gear" or "can hit L99 in 34 seconds" - are largely deposited between here and the Amazon Basin, so there's probably far below the average levels of whinging here.
TL;DR - I'm pretty sure the problem is somewhere on your end, since almost no one else here seems to have quite the same problems you do. Consider this may at least -possibly- be the case, and I think things will get better for you.
