4) If you don't use the auction house, you are crippling yourself and your progression. You farm not for gear, but for salebait.
Only if you choose to skip ahead, because you really really badly want to see the higher acts of Inferno now and don't want to put the time into farming and crafting earlier acts to enable to get your character to get up there. It's your choice to use the auction house to circumvent the process that by plan was supposed to take months. Otherwise, you can slowly build up your gear over time and make incremental forays into the next area of an act as your gear and playing skills improve.
What's funny is that it seems that most people are buying the wrong gear -- stuff that's glass cannon +mf% type gear that would be highly desired in D2. So, they die over and over again, even though they spent millions of gold on the AH to get it.
