If you are going to make such a statement (which I'm inclined to feel like Frag about) could you at least be more specific. At what point do you feel it is required? To finish Hell? To play in ACT 1 Inferno at all? To finish ACT 1 Inferno? To play in ACT 2 Inferno? Etc. I feel like such a strong statement deserves at least that much specificity.
Act1 Inferno could be done w/o it, although you'd need very good gear to make up for that. Starting Act2 Inf, unless you've spend a few dozen million on the AH, you will be toast. You need to have at least in the 600s to resists to not be a constant smear, and w/o the 50% boost, you'd need to overcompensate by getting all resist gear, which would severely cramp your other stats.
Before Inferno, you can dual wield badminton rackets and get through it with almost any spec.

You can always overgear the need for impunity (as a melee barb). However, impunity will allow you to comfortably run through Act 2 Inferno with ~200 less base all resist. I would say that it is 100% required in a practical sense.
Yeah, the only ppl who don't understand this, are those that have not hit Act2 Inferno. And those that are not Barbs, of course.
