I've fought them in hell HC several times and haven't had much of a problem. I do usually wait a few more lvls than 70 though, about 75 is my standard.
The advice already given is on the mark, especially the preprepared potions.
One thing that I have found quite useful is to have one player attempt to disract 1-2 of them, and have the other player spend their time killing the third.
Madawc is a good choice for first kill because of lower phys resist, as well as the fact that his quick ranged attack can make him the most dangerous of the three.
Alternately, Korlic's leap attack is often a one hit kill if he gets a good one in. Also, he will often leap out of melee with mercs/minions to attack a player.
My best suggestion would be to have the barb tank and kill Korlic(preventing leap attack), and have the sorc distract Madawc/Talic (BTW, Talic gets stuck fighting mercs/minions rather easily).
Also another tip is to be sure to get shrines before activating the ancients. If one of them spawns with curse(overriding the shrine), it would be a good idea to make a tp and start over.
A barb sorc combo is quite a good one to fight the ancients with, and you should be okay with a little skillful playing(and no bad luck).
