Hey that's so crazy. If we take the Armaddon as an example then we have an eight time increase of the HP from Hell to Inferno

The maximum health potion listed heals for 12,500 health. Assuming there isn't a higher one, you'll probably have around 50-60k health at end game. Which is on par with how Blizzard has worked with WoW. 50k health vs a 15 million health boss. That doesn't seem unreasonably high, 10-12 minute fight perhaps?
So, with armor, you'll mitigate ~30% of that damage immediately. Obviously you'll need further defensive stats to stay alive. Melee classes mitigate a further 30% of damage. That's 60% right away. Barbs (not sure about monks) can further reduce that 25% with a shout and ignore pain 65% of the remaining.
Don't freak out about damage numbers until you see how much your armor defends against at the appropriate level.
Glass cannon wizard pretty much out the window in inferno, I'd say.

You cannot compare this game with WoW though. WoW has multiple classes/spec's that focus only on healing. In this game, there is one spell that heals TOTAL. Also, you can have group size up to 25 in WoW, as in diablo at MOST you can have is four. But we'll see how it works out

i'm pretty sure with tank build and endgame equip those 170k hits will go down to 10-20k, meaning you will survive 2-5 hits, which is fine imho
in the end inferno will all come down to cc, stuns, kiting etc
with high lifeleach you can maybe even tank those mofos ^^
