You're aware they nerfed the LoH and Fury gained of Sprint by 60% right?
If perhaps you haven't played tornado barb that doesn't mean much to you but it's a very significant nerf. What had made the tornado barb so efficient was the ability to keep Wrath of the Berserker up for upwards of 100% of the time. The way to keep it up is simply very high fury gain, the main fury generation being that from sprint. Reducing it by 60% requires very high crit hit rate and attack speed to keep WotB up for extended periods of time now. At the same time for a large portion of ww barbs their survivability has depended on the LoH as you need high DPS for life steal to become viable and even then there's a 9% limit (I think) which means they'll also need to target all resistance and high vitality to keep their survivability the same as pre-patch.
So really now barbs need high crit chance/attack speed/dps(strength and crit damage)/resistance/life steal and vitality to remain the relatively same efficiency. The barbs with that have gear that cost 100's of millions of gold, and any class with 100's of millions of gold worth of gear is efficient. (well maybe I'll grant you monks...)
Now of course because barbs were OP there were a lot able to farm and get the gold required to get great gear so you're still going to see a lot of WW barbs tearing #### up but you can't pretend like they haven't taken a step in balancing barbs (probably not a big enough one but another step in the right direction).
Also I was a barb in 1.01 and 1.02 so no Wizards or Demon Hunters should be crying about imbalance
