I'm halfway through Act II, it almost seems easier than Act I, or maybe I'm just a lot better at dealing with this type of mob now, I dunno. Elites can be a real pain for sure but most the ones on Act I weren't so bad.

My attacks per second is 1.83 right now, sped up hand-crossbow with decent damage.
But the leap in damage from the gear I can use (level 57, closing in on 58) and the level 60 gear is truly massive.
I can't imagine many things on Hell that offer much of a challenge if my character had a 1100 ++ DPS weapon...

I also started a Barbarian today, he's just level 15 though. Fun class, certainly a lot more fun than the Barbarian in D2 (never liked him) but seems incredibly overpowered on normal with plenty of stun, AoE, slow, knockback and what have you, already from level 5 and up. Rend is also pretty damn effective, I can imagine it being even better later on since I expect the bleeding damage to be a percentage of your normal damage or, at the very least, based off of your level.

Level 60 gear is a whole new game in itself. I've seen weapons in the AH at level 60 that have up to 1.2K DPS

By the way, do you play on the EU server? If so, what's your battlenet tag?

I am on the EU server, tag is Mummelmann#2591!
