Soul Lashers took a MASSIVE damage decrease in 1.0.3, but I have not faced them with a ranged character since then (only my Monk). Heralds of Pestilence also took a massive damage nerf, though they still hit pretty darn hard. The huge hitboxes really hurt against those guys, as they are designed to punish players who do not dodge, but even if you DO dodge they hit hard :\
Demonic Hell Fliers are far worse for melee than ranged. For melee, they shoot, kite and scatter, putting in a lot of damage before you can take them out. They were a nightmare for my Monk. With a ranged character, you can simply dodge their fireballs and retaliate. They hit hard, indeed, but melee has far more trouble.
On Hell mode, perhaps - though my Barb had no trouble with them (or much else for that matter) on that difficulty. Wait till you face them on Inferno. Melee or ranged, it wont matter. You will hate your life regardless, especially when you face 3+ at a time. And an elite pack of them? Mhmmm, have fun with that.
