Huminator, I would just like to say that it is posts like yours that put games into the ground.
basically saying 'the game is fine because I'M not having any issues with it'.
RD as a consept is completely counter intuitive to any logic to be found in games. I play games to have fun, to make my charactor stronger, faster, and just better. RD just straight punishes you for having better gear. Every time I die to it, I contemplate uninstalling the game. And if one person who actually does the research of a game, strives for competent builds and gear set ups is having this issue, then how many other people who just casually play the game are having it, and thinking the same thing.
the people who post on these forums are for the most part the top 1% players of the game simply by vertue of being well informed and attempting to better themselves. everyone else will run into these RD mobs and just get stone walled.
the biggest problem with RD isnt even the amount, for all i care they could double, triple or hell even make it as strong as iron maiden was in D2, the problems is there is no way to use SKILL to avoid the damage. my build and gear choices should not even matter if im GOOD enough to get the job done. this is an action game. gear checks should not be a part of it in ANY way. this is not WoW were proper gating is needed to prolong the life of the game/content.
and your argument about being a glass cannon is apperently being thrown around with out any testing on your part as well. my DH prioritizes defence over her DPS, and STILL i have gear swaps for LS, LoH and even MORE defences. she will simply one shot her self even on MP0. My build lets me kill every other champion pack in the game simply using vault to skillfully avoid and dodge attacks. Hell i dont even play with any LS or LoH normally because my defences are good enough to handle any mistakes. i swap only to fight RD, and even that just lets me die half as often.
the argument about ignore the affix completely, well my barb already does that because i actually like using rend with lifesteal, no issues, my monk ignores it because i happen to like building him as a tank with tons of LoH.
RD is either too powerful or completely worthless depending on build, and forcing people into builds because of it is also a horrible way to design a game.
my opinion if any one is still reading at this point is to increase the reflect ALOT but have it pulse on and off like shields do. so that some form of skill or tactics can be used in this action game.
Can you post your DH's armory? And actually, it's posts + players like you that run games into the ground.

Damage reduction from armor (all types of damage) = Armor / (50 × Monster Level + Armor)
Example 1: Barry the Barbarian is fighting level 63 monsters in Inferno. He has 3000 Armor which equates to 3000 / (50 × 63 + 3000) = 48.7% damage reduction.
Example 2: Barry feels he's taking too much damage and equips a shield to increase his armor. The shield gives 1000 extra Armor, putting Barry at 4000 / (50 × 63 + 4000) = 55.9% damage reduction. Much better!

Don't compare wow with d3. Its two different systems. Typical on subscription based games, you get help if you mess up, if you get scammed, if you accidently delete a item etc. On a none subscription based game, your on your own if you screw up. If you get scammed in diablo 3, its because your stupid. Being stupid doesnt qualify for blizzard having to help you. In this game your responsible for your own actions. If you decide to pay 50M for a legacy edition of immortal king's chest, then thats on you. Whatever he showed you the real one before or not. Facts are, he had the old chest in he trade window, when you put up 50m and press trade. Not blizzards. its YOUR fault.

Dumb people deserve to get scammed. If you doubt, that you have enough brain activity to double check during a trade.. Stick to using the Auction House. Blizzard will never care for problems caused by yourself. Your the one pressing accept, remember that. Blizzard will only spend energy on stuff thats their fault. And no dumb humans are not blizzard's fault...

What have monks done to you? how about:
int for barb : reduce the fury cost of skills when under ilvl 63 weapons
dex for wiz : reduce cooldowns while using one hander without a source/shield
As for the op. Pretty good ideas.

Stop being naive.
