Hand flying Airbus 330 in turbulence

Can anyone tell me what it is like to hand fly a 330 in severe turbulence at FL350?

There is Youtube video of an Airbus 319/320/321 doing a low level go around on a bumpy day. It looks like there i some pilot induced wing movement due to the pilot getting tossed around.

On a related note I think enhanced vision systems should be mandatory. I fly along the equator on a regular basis, and FLIR and radar together is ten times better than radar alone. There is no way I will accidentally end up in a CB using this equipment.
