You can certainly get higher damage weapons from Act 1 inferno. I know I've found 1H weapons that were in the 600 - 700 damage range farming Act 1.
I'd advise joining some public games to do butcher runs. Also, the AH exists... if you don't want to use it for whatever reason, that's fine but there are decent weapons for rather cheap. And if you're not using the AH then you're just sitting on piles of gold that you likely aren't going to find much of a use for in game.
My WD is only lvl 55 and my damage is around 12K or so. That said, I am using a ~600 damage Ceremonial Knife with a - lvl req stat.
I was probably around 20k at that time and it was a fairly easy fight. Sub 2 minutes. But then again I buy off the AH so it's hard to compare.
9k is pretty light, so I'm impressed you got that far. As others have said, yeah it's possible. Farming Act1, public games, etc are all good. if you have friends to run with, they may be more willing to give you a good weapon if you ask nicely.

Thank for the replies...
hmm it is not that difficult for normal mob on 9.6kdps ..and certain(very few) champions/elite affix are possible to kill just need kiting...I die to most of them though...but I just get back and kill till enrage timer starts then I give up.
I'll try to farm for awhile and if I really can't beat butcher then i'll go shop for items from the gold ah.

My goal is not to use AH and...at the current state of the game, is it possible to get a good equip that can enable me to kill butcher?
My current weapon is a wd 1handed knife 460dps...can act 1 drop a significantly better weapon?
I have gotten 3 2handed 600dps weapons for monk and wizard but wondering if possible to get a 600dps 1hand ceremonial knife (or any fast 1handed)?
As far as I know, people used to complain about...act 2 dropping equips that we need to clear act 1 (lol) not sure if it is real/fixed already
