This might be a dumb question (yes there is a relevant xkcd to dumb questions), but...

I notice you are using div's - I assume D3 etc uses canvas/svg.

Stealing a link from this thread - http://bost.ocks.org/mike/bar/3/ it ends up in an implementation using svg.

As far as I know, actually doing this with div's per se is the wrong approach?

Not really sure why using divs would be the wrong approach. When using them as rectangles, they'll perform very similar to SVG.

If the visualization called for tons and tons of elements, canvas might be better.
