Freezeframe_2, try looking at some of
ThinkTank Photo's bags. The largest Urban Disguise series bags will hold all of your gear plus laptop, and it will stay on your shoulder, but it might be a little more weight than you'd want on just one shoulder. Also, access in and out of the bags isn't the best if you're using a battery grip on your 30D.
When shooting sporting events I tend to just wheel my gear in a Pelican 1510 case (carry-on allowable for US domestic; I haven't lined it up next to an internationally-allowable bag to check if I can fly international with it yet but it looks about the same size as ThinkTank's Airport International Roller). On location I wear a ThinkTank "Modulus" belt with my extra gear attached (usually just an extra shorter lens and an extra lens pouch to stash my 70-200 when it's not in use). My laptop is in a separate bag as I don't need it at every event.

Do you think this would be better for my trip to Italy than my Tamrac Velocity bag? (slingshot style)

I gave my Velocity 9 away because while it was pretty nice to swing around, the strap wouldn't support all of my gear comfortably, and I started suffering from all sorts of upper body pain unless I just slipped it over one shoulder like a normal bag. Also, like you said, it was somewhat difficult to constantly get in and out of.
