I find I cannot survive Act II Inferno, and the reason I've come to realize is not inadequate defense, but inadequate offense. My DPS (without SS, since I do not use it and find it to be a bogus indicator of actual DPS output) is right around 25k. This is easily about 5k, maybe even 10k too low for me to comfortably handle Act II.
Well, I can only conclude that your analysis confirms my overarching contention about Inferno - that it's a poorly balanced, inflation-ridden crap-shoot, rife with cheesy insta-kills rather than deeper levels of tactical challenge. At this point I think Nightmare offers the most balanced game-play, with champ packs limited to random combinations of "only" two lethal uber-skills. I'm frankly more interested in how low a character level you need to solo each entire Act in NM, than in how much gold you need to spend on AH to make progress in Inferno.
