EPTIf you get a decent one, you might want to use it all the time, considering your shield is pretty bad anyway.
If you still need more LoHit, try wearing a blue 500+ LoHit amulet just for that fight.

But then i just tried it again using this build http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#bigXTk!Uga!cbabac I only have 17k unbuffed damage and it was very easy just kiting him, pretty sure you can still do it even as low as 13k unbuffed, i used enchantress for more AS too. All you do is get in about 3 4 hits before he generates a cloud move outside of the cloud and keep on repeating, healing when necessary. Just make sure you're out of the cloud and not go too far out as then you run out of room to kite, you have about 2 clouds room to kite around the whole room if you just go in a circle around it, meaning if you do it right there is always room for you to run to out of a cloud. | ||

Buy a magic 600 loH amulet for <1 mil. Shouldn't be hard. Then buy a socketed off-hand LoH weapon with low dps. Drop your biggest amethyst in it. You can generally find one for less than a mil easily, but it will have super low dps, but no matter. Use serenity with heal rune, SW with cyclone, the passive that lowers cooldowns, mantra of healing with + resist, SSS with lower cooldown rune, and Breath of Heaven. Have >1.7 attack speed. Dual wielding, this shouldn't be a problem. You'll want about 1.5k LoH. Get my drift? Afk sit in Ghoms gas and spam serenity and SSS off cooldown while right clicking. Breath of heaven helps keep you topped off between serenity cooldowns, and every serenity you pop should get you at least close to full health again. SSS is just to use up those few precious seconds you always seem to need when serenity is almost off cooldown. SW cyclone start spamming out hits that proc your LoH as well. Obviously you still need to kill him, so if after those small gear swaps you're cruising at around 8k dps, you're probably just not going to beat him anyways. But this should get you over the hump if you are fairly comfortable during all the act up to Ghom. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/monk#aigXTQ!UVY!acabYc | ||

therefore, i have one question for you guys: which resist should i stack? which one is the cheapest, which one has the greatest "reselling" utility? and sorry if this question has been asked time and time again.  my personal assumption is physical > fire >> arcane > light > cold > poison. | ||

The most useful is physical, it gives you the opportunity to now use OWE if you have good resist all. You can pick whichever if you us OWE, it doesn't matter. | ||

http://imgur.com/a/6MibD I'm trying to transfer over to crit because i want to be tanky and do damage instead of just tanky but i'm running into the problem of sustaining my health due to the loss of LoH gem for crit dmg. any advice on how to ease the transition? | ||

I hope it pays off with just act 1 runs. Rich TL players should donate good gear to us lowly peasants. | ||

I have 700 resist normally, without time of need and just barb shout it goes to 1100. With time of need i can only imagine lmao. | ||

With good gear, barbs become ridiculously powerful at everything, except clearing inferno on a budget. hmm, which one would be better for act3 inferno runs if i have a budget of 10-20M: monk or barb? | ||

I can clear act 2 easily tanking all the mobs with around 100k an armor peice. I found my weapons which are normally the most exspencive. Act 3 is a little tough since im duel wielding but if you use the AH wisely you can prolly clear act 3 with that. | ||
