i dont particularly like your gloves. 150 str, cc and ias or cd would yield higher dps for few money....
and your amu isnt too great, but you should obviously wait for the patch to be released to upgrade it 
what is also somewhat missing on your gear imho is bonus to elites. but thats hard to gauge as its not shown in the charscreen.
you could also get some crit dam on your offhand to enhance your dps.
your shoulders also dont convince me, at least not considering your high overall gear quality and funds. more than 200 str should be a must on shoulders without pickup radius and without life%. in general, i would prefer 80ish vita and 8+ life% over 130 vita.
other than that and in total, i really like your gear. dont get my criticizing wrong, its on a high level

You can drop a lot of vitality, around ~300.
Shoulders: search for 250str, 90vit, 70ar
Gloves: what Black Gun said. Search for 170+ str and ias.
Belt: 250str
Pants: same stats, 2 sockets
Offhand: give up the vitality, search for strenght, life steal, critical damage and socket

Thanks for the help guys.
I'll definitely be looking out to upgrade my shoulders, but probably after the patch hits. Gonna try to craft a few too heh. Same with the amulet.
Will focus on the gloves and belt next.

Made a few changes based on Big G's advice, find my farming runs are a lot quicker now with a damage buff + SoJ (man that helps you rip though elite packs)
Still on the lookout for an IK chest with 180 vit, but other than that, what would my next logical step be?

What MP are you playing at? DR seems a bit low, you may want to squeeze in some resist or armor after you get a better IK chest.
Other than that, your gear seems fairly balanced, you're probably in that bitter situation where each upgrade costs ~100 mil.  In the long run you'll probably want more strength on shoulders, maxed ias and cc on IK gloves and Lacuni, Mempo with cc (...yeah), better weapons etc.
I'm open to suggestions too: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/BigG-2621/hero/412709
I'm trying to reach 300k dps with b.rage (yeah I'm 100% bored) while keeping the IK set and the actual DR, right now I'm at 282k and other than 6-10k dps margin on the amulet I'm lost. 300mil budget isn't enough I guess.

hmm, im not sure if your mainhand is optimal. due to nado mechanics, im fairly sure a 1.1k dps weapon without ls or str and +70 cd would probably increase your damage output. dunno if this would also be the case on a hota build.
other than that, you should easily get over 300k dps once the patch rolls out and you can craft insane amus.

HotA alternates the weapons  , and mine are almost identical when you consider the 0.25aps bonus. Life steal is necessary, I play at MP5 and with ~400k dps RD elites are a nightmare.
Yeah I forgot to mention that I'm not sure at all to replace my amulet before 1.07. I don't trust in crafting myself but prices in AH may go down a bit. I'm too bored to keep the same gear for weeks though, and my only options atm are amulet and Lacuni with 6%cc (for a whopping 2.5k dps increase).

Hey guys,
I recently picked up d3 again after quitting it pretty quickly, and im a bit lost now as to what direction i should head in
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/zoltanium-6964/hero/1091789
Thats my character, pretty shitty! So looking at everyones characters in here i can figure out what my long term direction should regarding items (echoing fury, immortal chest piece, better rings with CC,CD, IAS etc). I have around 3 million in the bank, is there any stepping stone items I could grab pretty cheaply in the short term?
Also, kinda off topic as it relates to farming, but apart from the usual obvious high value items, are there any rare items i should keep an eye on while farming that make a good sell? eg i saw that gold chance and pickup radius are good items to sell because of the bots.

You can build a gearset that can farm MP0-1 pretty cheaply these days. Give yourself a budget of around 200k per slot with 500k for weapons (totals up to roughly your 3m) and see what you can get.
aim for crit chance, crit damage, str, vit and if possible life on hit where possible.

I think you can get 270+ str shoulders. +50 strength may give you like 10-15k damage considering that you are relatively low on strength.

Last night sold some bracers 90str 90dex 90vit 40phys resist 22% gold 7 pickup radius for 3 million.
So yes. If it has gold find and pickup radius it will sell.

Any help much appreciated http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SepH-1101/hero/22292262 id say the single most life-boosting upgrade would be a helm with a socket, so that you can use an amethyst in it that gives 12-14% life. with your already rather high amount of vitality (by sc standards ) and complete lack of life%, this should help a lot. could single-handedly bring you to over 50k life. a higher block chance on the stormshield would also help. and more res are also desperately needed if you ever want to progress past mp0-1 act1...
Thanks for the help, i brought a socketed helm, and due to the life increase from % i could drop that bit of vit from the helm and get crit chance / armour instead, for 250k!
Nice one thanks,
Will look to upgrade the stormsheild, need to AH for a bit to get some money though.

hey guys, what should i upgrade first?
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/DiaBoLuS-2643/hero/19312
i was thinking shoulders and gem for mainhand / helmet.
I tried to buy different rings in a price range of 3 million, but i couldnt find anything that acutally did more damage then the one i got (which surprises me...).
im pretty low on money, the IK armor was very expensive for my budget already.
any tips?
€: another question:
i see most ppl with MF gear on their followers - why is that?
its not like they would lasthit a lot of mobs - or is the system different from d2?

Dude, I had 3200 strength (3000 now with a different amulet, but I kept the old one), which is better than 99.99% of barbarians. It is exactly the least valuable stat I can get right now.
Shoulders with 270str and same vitality (or equivalent amount of vit/%life) and AR cost something like 500mil.
Anyway, I'm slowly quitting D3, so I don't care anymore. Apart from a pair of Depth Diggers sold for 50mil, the last good drop was 3 months and 410 (yeah, four hundred and ten) legendaries ago. Considering that any upgrade costs me at least 200mil, I give up.

1/5th of the MF/GF and +exp bonuses your follower has are added to your stats.

Basically anything. Its hard, you shoul not spend too much money for small upgrades. First farm some hellfire rings, even the worst roll possible gives you 180+ str and 35% xp.
Then I would wait for 1.0.7 - shouldn't take too long to craft some upgrades for you. Especially on the Amu-Slot its not that hard to get pretty solid items.
