I recently reached Rakanoth on Inferno with my Monk and hit a wall. After a little research on Youtube I discovered a simple strategy-guide by "Aeonftw" to beat him with only little equip.
After messing around with the basic strategy I varied it a little and it worked out fairly well. Then I challanged myself to do the boss without any equip and the minimum amount of abilities I could reasonably go for. (I say it's possible with only 1 ability, but that would be too much luck-reliant)
With a bit equip - as little resistances and armor as possible - with a bit more damage attached to it and Retribution Aura + Mystic ally I managed to kill him with in around 4 minutes, which isn't too bad imo.
I'm fairly sure, the underlying idea can be applied in various other places too ^^
