Well, in Inferno, all classes have it pretty equally rough. Inferno is just a troll-fest/gear check by Blizz to screw with the players, and nothing more. But in normal through hell, I'm pretty sure melee classes have it a bit easier. In the case of Barb, you just put Revenge, Ignore Pain, the fury generator that best suits the situation (Bash for act bosses, Cleave or Frenzy for just about everything else), Leap or Furious Charge, WotB, and its GG.
One spell that I like to use on Wiz that I rarely see people try out is Arcane Nova. Does REALLY big dmg, and its great for both a single target or AoE effect. I guess it's not as fancy or aesthetic as the typical Disintegrate or RoF users that you see all the time in pubbies, but it does quite a bit more dmg in general, and with the Galvanizing Ward passive it is quite efficient in terms of resource management, since normally Arcane Orb is very resource demanding. Venom Hydra and Blizzard are a pretty lethal combo for big crowds, at least in nightmare. My Wiz just started hell, so I will find out soon enough how effective it is there.
You must have been very lucky as far as Rakinoth goes, cause I always have trouble with him when I use a ranged class - usually to the point where I have to co-op in a pubbie to be able to advance. At any rate, I really hope DH somehow gets rectified, they are in desperate need of dmg reduction passives or "armor/tanking" skills that can at least make them survive a couple more hits.
