I was going to suggest the same thing as aldrek, but I think that kind of goes against your philosophy of the "authentic experience," using what could be considered "creative use of game mechanics."
And then I realized you were on normal mode, and I don't mean to troll or be mean... but you really can't kill Ghom on normal? You might want to warm up with My Little Pony or something.
Dude srsly learn to read.. you go make a new character without using Ah and without farming for gear... and kill ghom.. srsly just stop writing if you have no idea what is going on
It's actually really, really easy to do. Who the hell has to farm gear or use the Auction House in normal? It's a clickfest.
Try it with the stats I had and tell me how much of a clickfest it is.
I did... within the first day of release... I would try to conceal any pride in that statement if literally tens of thousands of people didn't do the exact same thing.

I was at about the same place as you last week when I decided to pick up the WW spec, and these are a couple of things that really helped me.
First, make sure that your crit is over 40%; I was running about 46%, and that seemed to generate enough fury--maybe even too much, especially during WoTB. Also, don't skimp on Crit Damage. Once you have a ton of Crit, Crit Damage is going to increase your damage exponentially.
Make sure that you have enough life just to survive. The first time I walked into the keep in Act 3, I got one shot by the fire on the ground. You don't even want to know how much I got raped on elite packs. I felt comfortable up around 40k, but less would probably be alright if you had more resist.
Pick a third passive that actually serves you well. You have to have Relentless (or whichever increases your crit and crit damage) and Weapon Master, preferably with an axe or mace, but the third passive is actually really important. If you need more armor, both +armor passives are decent. I experimented with quite a few, and my favorite by far were Bloodthirst and Superstition. I would personally recommend Bloodthirst if you don't have lifesteal on your belt, but I would suggest to just get a good mighty belt with lifesteal and pick up Superstition. In Act 3, what's going to be fucking you up the most is Champion Ground AoE and white mobs (especially moloks) fucking you up from afar.
The benefits of Superstition, then, are two fold. One, you reduce the most dangerous damage you'll be taking by 20%, more than either of the armor passives--a pretty big deal. Aside from that, though, Superstition allows you to sit in ground AoE without WotB. Without WotB, your fury regeneration won't be high enough to spam Sprint AND WW, but because ground AoE ticks like 500 times a second, you're going to be generating fury like crazy and can thus spam WW, leading to more fury generation, greater WW uptime and therefore greater damage output, and more regen from life on hit.
The best advice that I can give you, though, is that it's A LOT harder to farm Act 3 than Act 2. When you look at the people who are farming Act 3, they have 50% crit, 500% crit damage, 40k HP, 800 RA, and 70k+ damage. Unless you're willing to drop 100 million on gear to farm Act 3, I would suggest going to Act 2 to farm. You don't need a lot of gear, you can learn the spec, it's much more fun because you won't be ramming your head into a wall for hours, and because you're moving quicker, you'll be more efficient at the end of the day.
TL;DR Superstition is underrated; if you're dying, then get it. If you're still dying, buy more gear or go farm Act 2.
