I know my post will seem mean to some people, but I am posting my own experience with Inferno Act 1. While I'm way past Act 1 (currently working on Diablo, having killed everything, including Act 4 minibosses), I'd still like to post my stats when I entered and worked on Act 1.
I hit level 60 and killed Hell Diablo with 5.5k dps, around 30 to 35k hp, and entered Inferno. Me and a friend (DH, geared similarly) slowly 2 manned the act. I believe we had issues on the Butcher where we lacked DPS (I was at 11k dps at that point). We had to try really hard to minimize movement, maximize DPS in order to kill him, barely beating the enrage.
People posting with 20-25k saying that they need more gear are wrong. Or we could say, maybe for their skill level, they need more gear.
Your playstyle has a lot more to do than your gear. Poor play and not optimized DPS will lead to elites hitting enrage.
As far as build goes, I suggest the 5 Images, Diamond Skin, Force Armor assuming enough HP, Seeker Magic Missile, then room left for either Venom Hydra, Blizzard, Magic Weapon, Arcane Orb, Desintegrate, Frost Nova, or anything that floats your likes and playstyle.
