Act I was piss easy with Demon Hunter and is really, really hard with a Barbarian. The Barbarian is barely able to defeat any Elites or Boss groups in the Halls of Agony while I simply surf through them with the DH. The difference in gear is not great, the Barbarian has about 14k more hit points and 50% better armor but still gets his ass kicked. Even some normal mobs can damage me quite a bit.
I ran through the entire Act I areas with my DH, farming for loot and money and didn't die even once, managed to beat every single group of Elite and Bosses but my Barbarian is getting nowhere, fast.
I can't imagine how hard it'll be to melee on Act II and forwards...

It seems like the Barbarian is terribly gear dependent compared to the Demon Hunter, Monks seem to be doing better due to the ridiculous self-heal skills and aura's.

Isn't your armor something like 4.5K? (last I checked it). That seems really, really low for an Inferno barb since I'm sitting at 3.2K on Act II Nightmare (I've got a 1000 armor shield waiting for me at level 60, heck, I'm looking at a huge boost for armor when I hit 60, putting me in the vicinity of 8K). 

That armor would make Act I Inferno a real hell (no pun intended ). Also, Barbs have a much efficient self-heal if played correctly: Revenge, with the level 51 rune (30% activation). I've seen some vids of Inferno barbs literally sitting on pools of plague or molten and constantly getting Revenge triggered and healing them constantly. 

Yeah I spam revenge constantly to get the heals - the only problem is immobilizing effects cause it to be game over. I have 7.5k armor(8.8 buffed) and 500+ resists. I've played with different skills including the one with 20% immobiling reduction time to no avail. Still can't get past the 3 Jailers at the start of Wortham. They immobilize me then surround me and I'm dead in 2 seconds flat.
