Dual Wield Throw Barbs are squishy Glass Cannons?

[mephuser1000]

Basically a Crit-Socketted Three-Hundredth Spear in Offhand and a Crit-Socketted Mighty-Weapon with 900 LoH in Main Hand.

Using Giles Trinity, Testing 45k HP, 6k Armor, 800 Resists, 30k DPS and 40% Crit Chance on Act1.

Result: Barb has no problem with Fury Generation but simply dies to Elites or white massed mobs even with non-stop spamming of Throw:Ricochet / Ancient Spear:Harpoon. Other skills include Furious Charge: Dreadnaught, Leap: Iron Impact, Revenge: Provocation, the Battle Rage: Into the Fray, Passives are No Escape, Relentless, Superstition.

Sounds like something to keep in the back of your mind for 1.0.5.

You are basically playing AR emphasized DH with 30% innate dmg reduction. Without kiting, you live 30% longer in melee range (2 sec -> 2.6 seconds).
