Unfortunately I am stuck at 4 and found out I get 1 shot and die way too much in act 3. I need to get some AR and MF but its going to be very expensive. Can you link some of your gear and how much you paid for it? I am curious to see some of it.
1.47 Attacks per second.

The answer to your question is how much money do you have?
The strategies you've laid out aren't gear strategies, it's an issue of what you can afford. If you can afford DPS + AR + MF, that's strictly superior to anything that takes one of those out.
If you're wondering what you should be going after, just ask yourself:
1. Is stuff dying fast enough? If not, get more DPS.
2. Am I dying too much? If so, work on survival (this isn't just AR, it also includes armor and vit and life on hit, or just getting better at not taking damage)
3. Am I clearing really comfortably? Get more MF.
To me, Magic Find is something you increase after you've reached a certain killing efficiency. Getting 100% MF doesn't help you if you end up taking twice as long to kill things, or spend too much time being dead and running back. The best way to get more items is to kill more monsters. Once you've gotten to a point where you're killing pretty efficiently, then it's time to start looking at improving your drop quality.
im a number 1 with 85k dps 500 ar mf little low at like 200 with 5 stacks nv but its a work in progress roughly 35k health 100 percent cit channe almost 250 crit damage
I would guess I'm the tank type with 45kHP, 600ish AR, 32kDPS, 33crit%, but only 100%critDmg, my clear rate for act III (I just pick the
path way to Ghom, and the Arret Crate lvl 1 to Az) is roughly 2 to 3 hours, make pretty varied from -100k gold (repair bills hurt) to 3 million gold (with good luck of drop n AH that drop) per run. I can't really do act IV cuz of being 1shot charged with those wing hulk things, ha ha, so act III is kinda optimal for me atm. Act II is ok, but drop quality can't compare to Act III.
For those glass cannons out there, typically guys like Rodvik and better gears ppl, I'm kinda curious with glass cannon option so, if I may ask you guys:
1. How fast can u clear act III and act IV ?
2. How many bag full of blue/yellow can u get per farm session ?
3. What's the percentage of rare lvl63 you find in act III n act IV ?
4. Is there any different between lvl63 drop in act III and act IV generally ?
5. Typically, how much can u make farming in act III n act IV at your current build n gears ?
Your answers (please Rodvik, ha ha) would help us DH a GREAT DEAL.... there is nothing more frustrating than buying certain piece for millions, only to find out that there are better options for a complete different build, only with BETTER results T____T (one could agrue that yeah right, what about lvl60 HC death ? but hey, that's a different ball game though)...

1. How fast can u clear act III and act IV ?
I don't really know about Act 4 because I don't farm it. Act 3 I can clear in maybe 1 1/2 hours - 3 hours depending on the route I decide to take. That includes full dungeon clears because I like to kill all the trash also because with such a high MF I get decent drops off of them all the time.
I do a lot of 5 stacks, clear Whimey, reset zone runs also in Act 1. Those take me anywhere from 25 to 35 mins each.
2. How many bag full of blue/yellow can u get per farm session ?
Most of my runs take a lot longer because half the time is spent cleaning out my bags cause Im getting so many drops.
3. What's the percentage of rare lvl63 you find in act III n act IV ?
Can't really give you an estimate, but I do know two days ago I got 21 ilvl 63 rares in one run, didn't count the 62s and yesterday I got maybe 10 ilvl 63s + in the same run I got an Inna's Blessing (Legen Belt) + Blackstone Breeches (Legen Pants)
4. Is there any different between lvl63 drop in act III and act IV generally ?
From the small amount of times I have farmed Act 4, I have seen no variation in drops from Act 3/4. Random is random, I find pretty much every type of item in Act 3 as well as Whimey, which is the same loot table as Act 3/4.
5. Typically, how much can u make farming in act III n act IV at your current build n gears ?
Millions upon Millions. Lets just say I've gone through hundreds of millions of gold I would think, gearing my guy up. Like I said I farmed yesterday and found 2 Legendaries + I probably found a few million in gold from the other items. The day before I found a crappy Natalya's Helm like 80 dex + socket and I ended up selling it on RMAH for 20 bucks. My gear probably has cost me hundreds of millions and some RM but I've made over probably $1200+ on the RMAH also from gear drops I've found.
If you'd like a demonstration, I don't mind playing with others. I normally run with a barb friend of mine. So Duoing is nothing new. Throw me a private message if you want to duo Act 3 one time or so.
Rodvik, your set up has me drooling... did you ever try the full Natalya's set? I'm using it now, but finding it crazy expensive to get my MF up, and keep decent dps. I had an Andariel's Visage much like yours that I sold.. starting to regret that. Do you find that you come into problems with discipline? With that much crit chance, I'm almost surprised to see you're not using Nightstalker. I'd love to make the switch to 1h xbows, but I can't afford it right now.
rodvik, my battle tag is imchilly#1433 (can't pm cuz I post less than 10, ha ha), and yes, I do wish a demonstration run, considering I have 210ish mf without templar... Since u duoing with ur friend barb, a tank, I guess I would be a tank as well, lol :D, if u consider another guy for regular runs...
Invitations also open to others with 200mf n up with decent gear for act III runs!!!

No never tried the full Natalya's set, at one point I had teh 3 piece bonus, but stuff was dying so fast that I didnt feel that I needed that 2 disc a sec set bonus. I had the ring, helm, and chest. Plus I didn't want the boots because the stats on the boots are garbage and the 1H is garbage also.
As far as nightstalker goes, i tried it, but I honestly don't need that much disc, most packs die before I need to pop SS like 5-6 times or I die and my disc is reset...lol, but thats why I use Prep with Focused Mind, I to get the most out of Disc that I can when I use the skill. Only time I really run into problems with my disc is when im fighting reflect dmg mobs because I have to chain SS + shoot to kill them, but I just kite to the point where my Prep is ussually up again so its really not needed. I prefer the bonus movement speed from Tac Advantage, its gotten me out of many tight situations.
Everyone has a different play style/build they prefer, I've just gotten use to playing mine so I really don't find myself running into Disc problems. If I really need the disc to kill an elite pack, I normally just kill one, and then SS + TA away so they dont follow me and wait a few seconds to regen disc and go back and kill the others...etc..
1) MF + DPS GEAR + AR
2) MF + DPS GEAR (NO AR)
3) DPS Gear + AR (NO MF)
4) Max DPS Gear Only (NO MF or AR)
I am currently using one: trying to get max dps but also keep my AR & MF Up.
My DH: 35.5% Crit, 46k Damage w/o SS, 280 Crit Damage, 300+ AR, 245+ MF
Which build do you use in these acts to farm and why? The reason I ask because I am still confused if I should be focused on building up AR or not.

The 214% MF is my base with no templar.
