It's not worth it anymore with patch 1.0.3 in my opinion. The mobs hit A LOT harder than the mobs in Act 3. Now that I'm no longer glass cannon, I find whimsy a lot harder. In act 3 I get 3-5 shot but in whimsy I get 1-2 shot.
The clouds/pinata drop crap now. It seems much better to just start Act 3 and farm elites until you can't play anymore. I basically cleared all of Act 3 yesterday and it was nice keeping a 5 stack up without leaving the game. It seems like the best way to farm now that you get an extra rare with a 5 stack. I do a siegebreaker run and them keep killing champs in other Act 3 areas.
I can farm Act 2 now .. venturing into Act 3 tonight.
I'll assume your talking about inferno. Remember you have to kill diablo on inferno to unlock the Infernal Staff of herding, in order to access whimsyshire on inferno difficulty.
Whisyshire is rated at act 4 in difficulty. So I would say once you've killed diablo and got act3/4 on farm. go for it!
You dont need to kill diablo on inferno in order to unlock the staff?
I think it's worth getting the infernal staff of herding. It's a nice little item to show off and it's really not that expensive. It's fairly easy to farm there for most classes and I'd definitely say that it's easier than act 4 since all mobs are melee.
no only killing izual is mandatory, after izual is dead, the plans will be sold in the Bastion's keep stronghold

Should have upgrade my staff or is it not worth it now? I just got the first normal staff made and haven't put any money into upgrading it.

that is according to diablowiki.
You are correct, once you can buy the plans (get to "the prime evil" questline) then you can make and use the staff, diablo kill not required.
