Ok, i read through at least 3 FAQ's and buying guides. I've followed the stats to built the character but i'm having a hard time getting the next upgrade (or making my mind up on what to get...)
I can barely run A3 - I can take care of elites if they don't have a certain affixes (Usually the ones with pools / desc / fire chains (or all of the them at the same time) melts me fast)
I have 1000+ LOH and i still can't face tank these guys.
How can i best increase my Attack speed or DPS without spending 20+ millions on a ring?
It doesn't matter, and from your stats I know more or less your problem.
I suppose you have AR around 600. Quite some time ago, I tries to fight A3 with 30k DPS and 1600 LOH, and the results weren't that great. I could go through the act, but at a lesses pace. Later I boost up my DPS to 50k DPS with LOH reduced to 500.
Instead I got some pickup radius and +life globe and LAK, with that I could basically faceroll all elites.
Now, with more DPS, LOH is more or less a redundant, and LS and life regen become more useful.

Jewels are loudicrously expensive, and the most cost effective way to boost DPS up to, say, 60k DPS is to invest in weapons atm.
Thereafter any upgrade will be in the order of 5-10 million.

yes your resist is to low to be facetanking. just side step out of it and continue dpsing.
and use the enchantress for the ias, armor and the aoe damage.
you can get gloves with ias and crit chance with high dex for cheap or just duel weld and get 15% ias from it.

Socket is more expensive, but could contribute to 80-90 CD, and 10CD=1k DPS for medium geared players.
Look over AH for the best buy within your budget.
A quick way to estimate the value or DPS of a weapon is to get the number
weapon dps + dex + 4*CD
Weapon dps is a bit undervalued as a 1H weapon, but in general this is good enough for a rough estimate, and it is about right in DW.
