All I know is that I have been playing a HC wizard alongside a SC wizard.
I had been playing my SC wizard similarly to my HC wizard... defensive skills, low damage, kiting, etc...
This morning I switched my SC wizard into full glass cannon and played through the same stuff I played through on HC lastnight. OMG I see why people are hitting a brick wall in inferno. You can go FULL glass cannon and (usually) survive. I was amazed that what I was doing was working. I died twice, but it wasn't a huge deal, just run back and try again. It was a lot more successful that I anticipated.
Sometime during this hour or so that I was playing glass cannon I just kind of had this revelation that this is why people are having such an issue at inferno. It's not that they have to gear a little bit more defefnse, it's that they have to gear any defense at all. It's a paradigm shift that they aren't used to and/or are unwilling to make. This appears to be the source of the issues that people have with how inferno is tuned.
