First of all hello to everyone, I've been visiting this forum since before D3 came out but never really posted, however I am now in need of the expertise of my fellow Barbarians.
That's my guy, I just recently came back from a very long break and have upgraded gear here and there. I'm now working my way through each MP level in order because that's just what's fun for me. For now my dps seems to be doing great so no problem there and I know how to increase that anyway. What I'm having trouble with is my survivability. I seem to die quite fast sometimes (usually when there's a ton of stuff on the ground that hurts) and I'm only on MP2 right now, on youtube and such I normally see people's loh keeping up no matter what's happening. Certain things like desecrate and plagued seem to really drain my health and my LS and LOH don't seem to be able to keep up with it.
Long story short, what am Iooking for to increase my survivability? More LS or LOH? Cause from everything I read I should have enough of those but they don't seem to be able to keep up sometimes.
38.5k HP
30.5k DPS
4.5k Armor
All resists over 500 unbuffed
1500 LOH
43% Crit
245% Crit dmg
1431 strength
Now from what I read I should be able to do act 3 just fine. I can roll through the first part with no problems, certain elites can cause trouble down in the keep, but once I get to the fields I start taking tons of damage and my LOH doesn't seem to be able to always keep up and so I die a lot. Especially when there's elites mixed in. And I'm really worried that once 1.05 rolls around then my survivability will really take a dive since I'll be getting even less life back.
What do I need to improve on here? Besides just more of everything of course lol.

I concentrated on AOE damage here. Can't wait to wade through packs of demons when the game comes out! Good luck everyone!
