Barbs are not weak, not even close. What your seeing is people who don't know how to play anything but ranged or ww barbs getting stomped on because their used to running around with low life/dmg mitigation and feeling OP. if you gear right then you won't have a problem.
They are quite weak. Atm there is no balanced build on terms of EHP/DPS for barbs, If they go offensive they die too fast, if they go defensive they don’t deal “any” dmg at all.
Some think fixing/reducing crowd control effects will fix things for barbs but I honestly don’t think that it is gonna be much help.
Maybe they should give barbs additional fury regeneration inside dueling zone. That might help you guys for more effective build choices.
Or blizzard should make account bound items which have base stat + affix that makes you negate 1 cc effect every 30 sec etc + 4 random properties. That would work better than the reduced time.
I don't think that Barbs are useless for PVP. They can achieve high DPS + EHP, maybe they're a hard class to use for PVP... But if you got skills + good gear, they're actually the best class for dueling.
Have you watched the Streamer Moldran? He just kicked almost everyones asses.
I think monks and DH's got the upper hand vs barbs (I mean regular DH/monk vs top geared barb).
Yet I can only speak for WD vs Barb for sure. There is no way for a top geared barb to beat a good WD. Speaking of my self, I have to be extremely unlucky for a barb to beat me (which hasn't happened yet on 1v1).
Btw got some funny movies. Prearranged fights, me vs 3 barbs, planning to share them soon ^^

Great! That way it'll be even cheaper to build a good Barb xD.
UNBUFF:
225k dps/ 5.5k armor /600 all resist / 70k hp

A monk with only 80k dps kill me easy (when im not using bersek)
same for DH and WD.
