1.10 rewards much more cautious play; drawing monsters off in small groups and taking them on in ones, twos, or however many your character can comfortably handle simultaneously with the monster regen. Prevent Monster Heal and poison damage both help here.
If you're two-handed (no block), this becomes even more relevant to prevent being swarmed and put into hit recovery whilst ranged attackers deplete your life.
Having said that if you've got as far as the catacombs I'd have thought you'd be ok; my sorceress gets pincushioned by quill rats and chased down by rogues as soon as she steps out into the blood moor. :)
Can't really offer much more advice without you being more specific, but I will note that your level is somewhere in the middle of the wide range of area levels in act 1; this means that some areas are going to feature apparently much harder to hit monsters than others due to the difference between your clvl and their mlvl. The catacomb levels are all close enough to your level for this not to be an issue, however.
You don't know what you're talking about.
