Belial is dead 
I've finished act 2 inferno and haven't given up on my pets yet. They die a lot (I die a lot too, if I'm honest), and a lot of the time I'm reduced to kiting with splinters, but I've cleared every area in act 2 at least once.
Belial was a bitch. I picked up some cheap +vit +life% gear in the AH to give me some margin of error in dodging his attacks, but I was repeatedly getting him down to 10% life, hitting the enrage timer, and dying to his mega green meteor spam. But then I realised I could swap out the Fierce Loyalty passive and replace it with Pierce the Veil, bringing my DPS up to approx 30K, which was easily enough to get Belial down in under the 3 minutes. I may stick with Pierce the Veil and see how that works out, because I really don't have enough thorns or life regen to matter.
So, yeah, on to act 3!
