Elite Fallen Lunatics are just bad design. Even with my Demon Hunter, I have not been able to kill them all before the last explodes on timer. With a melee character, I find using your companion, terrain, or even other enemies will let them just blow themselves up without you having to worry about the cross-fire.
I cannot comment on Inferno, but I actually found Azmodan easier with a melee character than ranged. Less time wasted moving; more time spent hitting. Ghom, however, is pitifully easy with ranged, and painfully ugly with melee. You also forgot how Act III has Soul Lashers, the bane of ranged characters everywhere, and Blood Clan spearmen (who become quite nasty at higher difficulties). Many of the Act III elites are awful for ranged too (eg Elite Demonic Tremors are able to chase-down ranged characters, negating their advantage).

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
