I've gone up against the ubers quite a few times with a friend of mine. The first few times we attempted it we got our asses handed to us, but we eventually figured out an ideal way to beat them pretty easily. We can now do a complete uber Tristram run in under 5 minutes, with no deaths.

The key is two characters - one is a melee character that loads up on Crushing Blow and has a fast attack skill. Some method of casting Life Tap is essential. The second character's sole job is to shut down the summoned minions so the first character can focus on the ubers unimpeded. Additional characters are actually a detriment as they increase the life of the ubers.

We used a Smite Paladin as the uber-whacker, but Fury Druids, Zealers, Frenzy Barbs, and maybe even WW Barbs could do pretty well. The key is as much Crushing Blow as possible, and Life Tap.

The secondary "safety character" is ideally a Summoning Necro, with lots of minions and max Dim Vision. This is the guy I play. Dim Vision shuts all of the summoned guys down, and the minions keep the heat off of the uber-whacker. I imagine that a Multishot Rogue with 100% Pierce and knockback might also be effective, as would be a Barb with lots of Howl. The later is perfect for clearing a way free of the portal if things go awry.

I really can't suggest using a Hammerdin at all, even to help with the summoned minions. A Necro does the job much better. He doesn't kill many of them, but that's not his job. His job is to keep everything tied up and to allow the uber-whacker to do his job.

I've built up my own Zealer for uber runs, following a template I saw posted by MMAgCh. Crushing Blow is the theme.

Helm: Guillaume's Face w/ Um rune (35% CB)
Armor: "Duress" runeword (15% CB)
Boots: Gore Riders (15% CB)
Gloves: Dracul's Grasp (for the ever-important Life Tap)
Belt: String of Ears, Nosferatu's Coil, or Verdungoes
Shield: Herald of Zakarum w/ P. Diamond (mine has an Um rune for some stupid reason)
Amulet: Highlord's Wrath (no CB, but offers +1 skills and IAS)
Ring1: Ravenfrost
Ring2: Ideally BK, but anything with resists and life works also

There are a few weapon choices. Astreon's Iron Ward, Heaven's Light, and Stormlash all offer IAS and 33% Crushing Blow, so those would be the top choices. I personally use Astreon's.

All told that's 98% Crushing Blow, which will bring an uber to his knees in fairly short order assuming that Life Tap is cast and the summoned minions are neatly tied up.
