I can do MP 10 ubers with 3% life steal, around 500 all resist, 5k armor (with passive), and around 58k health. I can't solo farm MP10 with the same gear, mostly due to reflect mobs, but since it's not efficient I don't care. My low MP farming gear is almost the same, except I swap a +vit/+resist Inna's Radiance for one with spirit regen/resist and exp gem, and I wear my best hellfire ring.

Instead of going crazy and checking out the top 10, I looked at a few of the top 80-100 dps monks. The lowest resist I found was 292, most were between 350 and 550, with some concentration around 500. I think that's a good value.

800 all resist seems very high to me, that was maybe needed a few patches ago, but not anymore. In terms of high DPS items, some loss is almost mandatory:
Innas pants: 200 vit or 100dex/100 vit is better than 80 all res, so no resists here
Lacuni bracers: at most one resistance
Inna's belt: dex vit is better than all resist
Witching hour: at most one resist (want dex/vit!)
Inna's chest: again high vit is probably better than all resist

Compared to a solid 1.0.3 outfit with double resist in all those slots, a loss of roughly 300 resists seems natural to me.

So i was hanging around DiabloProgress and after a quick look on world's best DPSer monk i noticed a nice fact: Almost everyone on top 200 (mabye even more) have a total of no more than 300. My monk has a total of 493 (804 all res) with a pretty low dps (compared to world's best).

I wanted to ask you:

WHEN is time (and how) to get rid of Resistances to have a better DPS AND much more VITALITY ????

I mean all of theese ppl i mentioned have Inna's Pants and Chest with 0 res... and MOST of them have no LIFE STEAL on hands.

Tnx for advices

P.S. Mabye i should post this on Theortcrafting?

On diabloprogress you can't be sure if people are wearing xp farming gear or uber farming gear. But from what you are saying, they're probably wearing xp farming gear(I'm sure their gear would look a whole lot different if it was their mp10 uber farming setup).
Just because you can do mp10 doesn't necessarily mean you want to farm your xp there, since it would require a lot of dps, to be able to kill it, as fast as on mp2-4 (More monster kills means more legendarys and more xp).
If playing lower mp's, you won't need as much resist, especially if you have a lot of dmg. Killing a pack fast results in packs not being able to throw as much crap on the ground, and therefore you won't need as much resist. Dmg is actually a nice def stat, if stacked enough.
At the same time, they're likely using One With All passive, so getting a single resist on a piece of gear should be enough at their current setup.
Hope you find this usefull
