There are several threads at the AB detailing successful Torch collections, including at least one in HC. Generally the same melee heavy tactics that take down the clone the fastest work on all three ubers--with the stipulation that you must pack on enough resists/absorb(mainly lightning really) to negate meph's conviction.
Smiters, zealots with great gear+CB can take them down. I have heard that CS zons do well vs all but meph(that pesky lightning immunity). You will need some form of crowd control as well, hammerdins, necros, even well equipped bowazons can handle this. This fight is very tough, but with coordination, and knowledge of what you're up against, it is beatable.
I really, really wish they would have reset the ladder at the same time as releasing the patch though. Trying to figure out how to get a Torch starting from scratch would have been nice. They also could have hidden more features serverside I would have thought. A few hours after the patch, we knew where all the new items dropped, and most of the stats of the Ubers.
Well, fixing some old bugs, and not introducing the new bugs would have been nice as well.
