God damn, this shit is getting really hard. My 300k gold isnt enough to get me OP by gear.
How far are you guys? I've found that most of the time grouping isnt worth it in inferno, because you either have undergeared teamates or people who will leave after one elite pack...
Grouping past 2 is pointless in Inferno imo - you just give the mobs more HP, while your damage output stays the same and you have to kite so much that it's hard to get good damage out anyway. It does help to have a partner in the halls of agony in act 1, so you can setup rez chains and try to run through the dungeon (you'll almost certainly have to skip some packs, because crap combos like waller, frozen, mortar, shielding in the middle of those tight corridors is basically unmanageable).
But if you think Act 1 is bad, just wait until Act 2 - it particular sucks on Inferno. Act 1 inferno doesn't really drop decent gear upgrades for Act 2, and it's hugely range/kiter unfriendly. So many of the mobs in the desert and oasis are intrinsically fast and swarm you in packs (and often ignore a slow time bubble completely) and melee hard but not for a single > 35% hit so force armor is frequently useless. Several of them have mortar and the only thing I've found that works against mortar is wave of force. Within the sewers, there are frequently multiple champion packs near each other so kiting is tricky or in some cases impossible.
You can change skills to deal with different affixes, but you'll need to town portal and setup skills in advance - forget about doing it on the fly since the cooldown is too long. I do find I can run signatureless though, since damage is frequently hard to get out consistently.
Also f*** the nagas right after you meet Hakan for the first time on Inferno.
I need to farm more. I dont really see myself making 300k in 2 hours though. That seems pretty quick
I am making approximately 250k an hour from a farming run in act 3 hell. The actual amount depends on how lucky you get with the drops obviously, but thats what I've gotten over about 6 hours of farming (1.5mil total).
What I do is start at the 2nd to last quest in act 3 hell, its the one BEFORE "Kill Azmodan". This puts you in level 1 of a spiral tower, which you clear along with level 2 killing 3-5 elite packs on the way. You then kill Cydaea or whatever her name is, the spider boss, you kill her with 3-5 valor stacks and then you are at the waypoint you would be on if you started the "Kill Azmodan" quest. So you have 1 fairly short hallway area where you will get another 2-3 champ packs, then you kill azmodan. I usually get at least 1 treasure goblin on the way.
So far I've been doing it in my regular gear, but today I am going to try to pick up a bunch of crappy +MF and +GF items from the AH because I am sure I can drop a ton of stats and still clear it quickly/easily, since it is a very easy run.
I do it solo with the templar follower, who I build with as much +vit as possible (he has 50k hp).

I'm using this build specially for this run (I don't use this in inferno): http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/wizard#RcXlSO!YXU!bcabZY
