I second a lot of what you've said above.
I've been playing a Furious Charge Barbarian this season. It's the first time I've played a Barbarian past 50ish and the first time I've ever played one outside of Hardcore. It's definitely the most powerful character I've ever played and I routinely clear GR 40 with reasonably decent gear.
I know the new hotness is the WW Barb but I am always on the back end of the curve in picking up new builds. Plus I just really like Furious Charge. I also love that if I screw up my charges I can get myself into serious trouble.
Generally speaking, my goal for seasons so far has been to pick the most underwhelming set available to a class and see how far I can get with it. Season 1 I played a Helltooth WD and was able to clear GR30. Season 2 I played the Roland Crusader and could only complete around GR26-27 if I recall (Lord was that set broken before season 3). Season 3 is the first time I feel like I could play any set available and still clear 40+. The Barbarian is in a good place.
Now they just need to tone down the WW effects so that you can actually see the stuff that is about to kill you.
