i feel like I'm in a pretty good place right now with my build/gear setup. I'm starting to be okay with the logic of "just take your time and never die" as opposed to "OMG MUST DO MAX DMG ALL TEH TIME!!!!!!".
Here's my build as it stands now, when I need to I switch out Seven Sided Strike with Pillar of the Ancients for MASSIVE small-area AOE.
I think the biggest thing is to constantly buy weapon upgrades from the AH. He bought high damage weapons, and stacked fire resist for One With Everything.
For elites, you'll have to kite. For the chainers, stay on the outside, etc.
At this point pretty much the worst affix is Fire Chains. It's just... fucking retarded to have to solo. Kiting while a friend ranged dps' them down? No problem there.

If I use MY build, I'm going to fail? I think you're a bit mistaken because it's working just fine.
Your build is all offensive minus 1 move, and so far in Hell that kind of build hasn't worked for me whatsoever.
