This game is all about mixing good items with the right skills. Just that your defenses or DPS is in high numbers on your spread sheet it doesn't mean that you survive better or you deal more damage.
Here is an easy tip from me, instead of getting high resistance/armor etc, just get a Litany with good stats, say you may get a really good one for around 100m. So you may keep high DPS / Low protection items on your slots. the monk I coop with has real low resistance and armor compared to most of you guys out there (He gets Guiding light instead of seize the initiative) And he is not dying at all on our regular MP7 farms.
His build in MP7 (coop): ht tp://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aXgTek!fUd!YbYcba
If he switches his zunimasas with Ice climbers and get the seize the initiative he easily tanks MP10.

So, he avoids using the best dps skill in the game? Monks have 5 skill slots + Sweeping Wind. Not 6.
Ah I forgot to add that for MP7 sweeping wind is kinda useless for our setup. Not to mention that we one shot trash but also the packs die in same manner. I throw my buffs, monk uses conviction>seven sided while i nuke and pack is dead.
So basically we nuke&clear the packs so fast that damage over time spells become useless.
He only uses Sweeping wind on MP10 but of course that's a different subject.
Btw soon we are gonna make a video and maybe that will explain more.
I am also planning to make a small video but at the moment got too much work to do so can't spare my time for it. Maybe this week I make a vid and share it here.
Please, make that video!
Would really like to see you in action Hasansabbat :).
I've been experimenting some builds this week for fast MP10 and I plan to make the video this weekend so hopefully I can edit it in mid week and share. When you watch it you are gonna see it is not necessary to have 1500-2000+ Eur worth chars to clear MP10 fast

By saying "able to do it" do you mean killing elites? Yeah I can do that solo but not efficient of course. Also with a monk I can do MP10 (probably way too faster than most of the people out there ). Mp10 is nowhere efficient but we just do it to see how fast we go and just for a change since we are so bored of regular farming.

Only problem on MP10 is reflect packs.
I just switch inna's pants with a High int/vit/all ress pants. And get some defensive talents to avoid dying alot on reflect packs.
I am also planning to make a small video but at the moment got too much work to do so can't spare my time for it. Maybe this week I make a vid and share it here.
You should get honored guest instead of jaunt, and then I don't think that you would run out of mana since you have only 6 ias on items (which is good). Zunimasa's pox is not so expensive so maybe you should consider buying one for set bonus. At the moment I got 1.4 attacks per second and +28 mps from items. With that I don't have mana problems even on Mp10.

This is true again for lower MP. You can use spirit walk again in 15 sec. But I spend all my mana in like 8 or less. And spirit walk gives me only 15%, dont think this would help me all the way.
What I'm looking for is a what DH, Barb or Monks have. A way to regain my full resource in a few seconds, so that I may continue with my killing for the next 5-10
I am not talking about low MP my regular farming is on MP7-8 and sometimes I do MP10 for a change. And honered guest provides a total %30 mana in 2 seconds not % 15. The mistake most of the WD's out there doing is to think that more dps on the spread sheet the better. For example I have unbuffed 169k DPS on my spreadsheet but I can say confidently that I am one of the best damage dealer Witch Doctor in Europe.
Just to see higher dps on spread sheet you take PtV but you don't count the downtime to regenerate your mana. For me It is non-stop spamming with only bears on primary.
I have other builds for farm as well like;
/calculator/witch-doctor#fSUYdQ!UYW!cZZbcb Can't post url yet just paste it after calculator.
if you don't have problems by dropping spirit vessel this is an ok build with slow weapon&high mana regen gears. It is up to you to swap firebomb with spiders for mana or splinters. If you are struggling vs reflects you may have toads (provided you have LOH) but I like the damage output of firebomb (Crits over 1m with monk in party).
For the speed of my build I can only say how fast elites die, depending on the affixes I have seen elites on MP8 die in 3-5 seconds.

The stats I am looking for;
1050+DPS
1.2 speed (Not interested in weapons with bonus attack speed or with higher attack speed)
70+ int
50+ Critical Hit Dmg
2.8+ Life Steal
Has Socket
