Bleeds are strong but not OP. They are a good counter against tanky players with high resistances and all of those squirrelly, swifty players. Besides, if I choose a build that buffs bleed damage, I'm sacrificing something else, such as burst. This game like rock-paper-scissors sometimes and that's fine.
But other than that the counters are there outside of purge/cloak.

You get two on you and a defile and you are now passively dying and unable to outheal it. You get three on you and no defile and you are now passively dying and unable to outheal it. If there is more than one player attacking you with *sloads*, you have almost no chance of winning on pretty much any class except maybe NB. Not even Templars can counter it because the *sloads just reprocs* they can just reapply them and the cost of purifiying ritual is super high. Regardless, if you were to purify every time a *sloads* went on you, that's all you would be doing. You would never be able to go offensive.
They are kinda stronger than they should be. Building for defense against them doesnt pay off well enough but also agree than most people dont actually try building for defense, making it seems they are stronger than they are (hello all 66 CP ironclad 37CP thick skin complainers in fortified brass or SnB etc, I know there is many of you)

stop slotting bloodspawn thinking its going to BIS when all your fights are against bleeds that ignore the resists from that set?
Maybe get troll king instead? Or roll minor/major protection? Have a templar buddy for free synergy purges?
Dodge roll the melee attacks to avoid bleed procs? LOS and cloak the dots entirely?
Stop pretending there aren't things you can do to adjust.
I just yesterday put in a feedback about bleeds and how strong and popular they are these days, and understandably so. Its relatively balanced 1v1, but as soon as you get 2-3 or even 4 bleeding dots on you (some ppl can get 2 passive bleeds if running dw and 2h) you will melt away with no real counter.

None of those are realistic counters at all and you know it.
Bleeds are reduced by percentage based mitigation and are subject to crits therefore impen plays a larger role in mitigating bleeds. Minor maim as well.
Current meta most builds are stacking armor. But it ignores physical resist and dots are really efficient against shields so..... Yea. Not surprised everyone is having issues with bleeds but trying to blame it on bleeds.
I think I maybe saw only one or two builds rolling 20% into thick skin and higher than 3k crit resists? And with everyone dropping wizard bleeds are looking better this patch generally speaking.
Master weapons on the other hand might be needed to tune down. And maybe not being able to stack 2 axe procs from DW/2H. But other than that the counters are there outside of purge/cloak.
