The only screenie I saw shows Balrogs being immune to all but physical.
If the OK's can be killed with berserk, AND if they are not eligible to
be resummoned, then eliminating them first is highest priority. Maybe a
pally with heavy salvation?

I *guess* (never been there, and have no realm chars in hell yet - I
deleted 'em all about 6 months ago) that you will end up having 2-3
chars do the actual boss killing, and another 5-6 acting as crowd
control and killing minions. An assasin with CoS & SM, amazon with Valk
& Decoy, a bonewall necro, and maybe a war cry barb to howl, stun, and
grim ward would work well for crowd control. That leaves you with a
smitadin or two, iron barb, and maybe a serious strafazon to handle the
bosses.

Yeah, but crowd control is half the battle. (*singing* "G.I. Joe...")
