mp5 is just right in terms of speed for me. I suppose to each his own but beating on an elite pack for longer than 10-15 secs seems counter productive. I like to keep it moving.
I'm at 300k self buffed and mp10 is still a chore to do.
I can't link my profile because my job blocks it, however a few things i thought of just reading your post:
1) you dont need that much res. Im at 240kish unbuffed, 42k hp, 450 res, 5k armor and comfortably do mp5-6 alkeizer runs in less than 15 min. I can switch out helm gem and get up to 48k when i want to do mp8+ ubers. You dont need that much res/hp IF you have LS and the dps to back it up.
2) 1.5 billion is more than enough gold to make some nice upgrades at your gear level. You can get a pair of nats boots with higher dex for not too much. another 60-70 dex shouldnt be absurd. Thats 4-5k dps right there. Echoing Fury is the way to go if you are just looking for a straight paper dps increase, youd gain a bunch with a 1100 dps/50+cd/socket/.23 or greater one.
You have the money to spend. you can lose hp, you can lose res and youd still be fine. Again, with my stats, i farm mp5-mp7 comfortably. Unless you are planning to do mp9-10 farming, then i guess keep your res/hp numbers.
my toon is diddy#1916 on US servers if you want to peek at my setup. The amulet i have on isnt the one i usually use, was just playing with crafting.
