Heiho,
yes, as I wrote, I'm with you when it comes to comparing Barbs with other classes and especially comparing them in a party. This is a very sad issue, and I ranted already a lot about it.
1.1x _the_ party patch? Pull another one it's got bells on it :-P
If one of the favorized mainstream caster builds is at your back you're just another blocker. Further there is no such threat to casters like to melees (IM anyone? Don't mention Blood Mana, since it is far too easy to neglect). Also the already in 1.09 Uber hirelings from Act2 were made even more caster friendly due to their possible equip. If you say BotD you'll also have to face Infinity.
If you want the taste of the RPG part in this game, you'll have to go solo. With a strong build you can manage it in big games (or using /players xx command), with a weak build you'll have to restrict to pure single play.
