Well, I gear from "what drops" and "what I can afford on the AH based off of what drops that I can sell on the AH" and as I think we all know, neither of those are especially good for the unlucky. I'm close to brick walling, I think. Some boss packs just paste me - normally the various "I make bad places to stand" mods, since I usually have 250-500ms with my awful internet. Generally I've taken a few thousand damage before it's even been displayed on my end that where I am standing is unsafe, if DSkin wasn't already up and running. Sometimes even when it is, between being in a bad place and other incoming hits, my DSkin gets overwhelmed. (I also haven't played a DH, heh.)
Basically I REALLY need to get a better weapon. I can tank for awhile, but my not-quite-there-yet crit rate with my low base damage means my crits are barely clearing five digits (not yet seen 11K) so I'm having to maintain the micro-kite/DSkin/Nova routine for a longer period of time and keep hoping my crits kick in regularly. Still, I think it's better than I was doing before with having to loop for 10 minutes while things race through my Blizzards in 2 seconds taking 1/3rd of the expected damage.
