And I think i've found the absolute worst combination of powers an elite can have against a Barbarian: Molten, Fast, Vortex and Horde. It's absolutely not cool in any way. They suck you in, surround you completely so you are always taking damage from Molten, they are fast so you can't escape to get a breather. and there are so many of them that they just won't die. It's horrible. and of course, if you do manage to kill any of them, they suck you back into the molten explosion, one-shotting you.
Vortex isn't really a problem if you are using a Whirlwind build, they can't displace you while you're spinning and you don't have collision either. What's usually the killer for me is Electrified and Fire Chains which become very very evil when you group up all the mobs around you with Threatening Shout, it's still manageable if I try and hit the packs from the borders so I don't get all the hits from the affixes at once.
Horde is usually happiness for me, with Area Damage, Battle Cry/Bloodshed and Zerk/Slaughter my damage shoots through the roof when there are lots of minions at once. Sometimes fighting two elites at once actually goes faster than just one at a time.
