I remember your reports of your fights with Baal. I don't think you are exaggerating in your post, he was bad back then :)
He was toned down from the beta til now.
I think the cheese-missile got toned down, less damage and not so long range.
I only play SP and I have never had problems with Baal. Diablo on the other hand..ugh, took about an hour for my werewolf to get past him in normal. When one is untwinked and the gear is not very good...it is just not very funny..just tedious.
About Baal. Do you use a mercenary? I often find them useful while fighting Baal, because they can take of the appendages. I had a paladin with smite, after I closed in on Baal on the walkway, no more appendages got out. I could Smite him happily while my rogue shot him full of arrows. Worked fine, perhaps I was lucky :)
