You might not "need" resists but it makes life vastly easier. Vit does not help your pots, transcendence, LoH etc. keep up with damage like resists do. I had the opposite experience to Elric where the DH in hell is giving me more trouble than my monk had, that's because the DH has been pushing dex while my monk pushed resists. I didn't have to scour the AH just yet, but that's because I had been saving up most of the resist gear I had found.
I will concede that high LoH is probably even more effective, particularly with thunderclap vs elites, but much like you guys and resists, I managed to get by with low values until inferno. I also had the benefit of 10%+ attack speed items though, which is harder to find post 1.03.
