WTF... no!!
You don't need AR for Hell. You don't even need much for Inferno Act 1.
The only thing you need for Hell is a cheap "reduced level requirement" weapon from AH.
when u cant afford those or when its not available, still have to make do with cheap AR gears mate, go HC and check it out, the BEST progression of ppl i know they reach act2 and kena tapao by belial, replay again, gear availability in HC is different than SC man, if u lucky or rich u can get a lowered requirement lvl60 gear and steamroll (assuming u dont make a mistake getting trapped or die one shot that is). 1 mistake in HC is more punishing than SC, i dont dare to risk my baby for the sake of my own ego to survive hell without AR lol

I've made 2 HC barbs, both times deaths were due to underestimating elites. That's why i'm on SC to learn how to deal with them and to learn what type of gear i need to progress. Having said that, i'm actually enjoying SC inferno after facerolling through nightmare/hell (i still died about 6-7 times but it's really from stupidity more than anything else) because there's actually a challenge now.
You sound like you're playing S+B, so for bosses you need to know if you're going to beat the enrage timer on inferno. Anyway, grats on 60 and good luck in inferno

S+B is more useful when it comes to saving your dps in your team when shit happens and save them from death, unless you are rich or lucky then by all means go dps, i used a knife and a board for my current barb, for frenzy smite to seperate the elites from targeting my dps
put it this way, ive noticed act3 for instance, elite and champ packs sometimes come together, meaning they are clumped, arcane molten waller jailer horde and firechain constantly appears as their affixes, if you are goin dual weild dps or whatever, are you willing to risk your charc to save another? are you confident to be able to kill or hold ALL of em before they wipe ur party?
imho there is no definate combination of which is better, its only a difference in playstyle and the amount of risk you want to take and what you want to be able to do.
