Thanks, guys, for all the help getting to this point. I've just turned 60 and just about to enter Inferno, and I think I've achieved a well-balanced entry level player. I've still got the amulet to upgrade, but other than that, how do the stats look? Which items should be upgraded first? I'm not going MF for a while.
The Profile doesn't provide details (and I'm having trouble with Photobucket, at the moment) ... but some other stats are: LoH:950 .. Resists: 500-560 (unbuffed) .. 70% damage reduction.
Definitely I would go for another offhand. You can drop DPS there by a lot and go for a 500+LOH, 80%+ natural CritDMG, socket offhand. Since you just have around 200% this would give you the biggest dps boost I would say.
Additionally, I would search for similar good boots with 12% move speed on them. Seems like not giving you that much, but trust me, it feels much better.
Thanks for that pointer. I checked the AH, and 2 daggers met that spec --- one was 300,000,000 with 675 DPS and the other was 14,000,000 with 575 ... then below that, was crap. How does one crunch the numbers to determine if an off-hand weapon drop of 250 DPS offsets a crit damage gain of 80-90%? I can figure that going from 825 to 575 is a loss of 7,000DPS, and so what does going from 60% to 160% crit damage add to that new DPS?
I'm gonna do a bit of napkin-math, see if I'm right. I go from 825 to 575 DPS, a loss of 250 DPS. But since it's averaged with the main hand, it's really of loss of 125 DPS for both weapons. The current multiplier of average weapon DPS to total DPS for me is 55+/-, so the total DPS loss is 125x55 or 6,875. That brings my total down from 47,185 to 40,310 DPS. Now, let's say I go from 258 Crit Damage to 348. That's a 35% increase in damage, and at a 50% crit chance (with buffs), it's a 17.5% overall DPS increase. Increasing, 40,310 by 17.5% is 47,162. What am I doing wrong?

Nice napkin math. What you calculated is your character sheet dps.
It's important to note that if you're using a WW build, the dmg of your RLTW tornadoes is based ONLY on your MH dmg. This means your OH is relegated to being a "stat stick" and its DPS is irrelevant. Your other attacks (WW, bash) will still calculate hits by alternating MH-OH, so your OH dps isnt completely useless, but it becomes MUCH less important.
If anyone has advice on what I should be upgrading please fire away. I dont see any pieces in my gearset that are going to be cheap to upgrade. I would like more HP and defense but I don't want to sacrifice much dps to get it.

My barb isn't godly-geared, but it's a good example of this WW gearing:

I prefer rings and amulet with loh, I just pop WotB with ToC and clear everything, WotB rarely fades.
