Is 1.10 Hell playable?

[Wrathraven]

I'd really like to hear from Paladins and Barbarians who've played hell a bit. Everything I've seen indicates that they're the ones who've taken the biggest hits in hell. After all, Sorcs got a damage boost, Necros have minions, and Amazons are still way over-powered, even moreso now with Valk. What did the Barb get? Longer warcries, okay, that's nice, and slight synergies among combat skills, but overall not much difference in their killing ability (except that WW was kinda nerfed by the animation). Pallys got a better Zeal and some aura improvements, but what else? Monsters have more HPs and regen, hit harder and are harder to hit, the front-liners are the ones who have to deal with that. Just an example: All Act Bosses have Diablo-like blocking now. No effect on Sorcs, but damn ANNOYING for meleers (ask any Barb or Paladin how much they enjoyed fighting Hell Diablo :( ). Is this the pattern for the rest of the game?
