My group and I found completely broken builds for all our characters (Me - wizard, guy 1 - DH, guy 2 - monk).
This of course is on top of 3000+ armor (50% reduced damage), 134 resistances (34% reduced),*snip*.

Our monk found out a similar build which basically lets him regen health faster than he's hit (and shields).
Currently we are having no problems at all - Act 4 on "Hell" difficulty was fairly easy, and Act I of Inferno is also fairly easy.

I found that if I use:

1. Diamond Skin - Lasts 6 seconds and absorbs 20,000+ damage
2. Energy Shield - Increases armor by 65%, and all resistances by 40%
3. Familiar - Absorbs an entire hit every 6 seconds when under 35%
4. Blur - 20% less melee damage taken
5. Galvanizing Wand - doubles armor duration, 310 life/s regen
6. Astral Presence - adds 20 arcane power and 2/s (cancels out armors negative)

This of course is on top of 3000+ armor (50% reduced damage), 134 resistances (34% reduced), and of course my 15,711 damage rating. With all that, you basically get god mode. Spam Diamond skin every 15 seconds (which lasts for 6), and you can RUN RIGHT THROUGH inferno-mode poison and lasers without taking any damage at all.
Then, if your teammates are tanking, pop archon (with the 25% damage increase rune), and hit for OVER 40,000 DAMAGE PER TICK (1.25 attack speed).
Our monk found out a similar build which basically lets him regen health faster than he's hit (and shields), and our DH has "Shadow Power", which gives him stupid amounts of life steal / regen.
Currently we are having no problems at all - Act 4 on "Hell" difficulty was fairly easy, and Act I of Inferno is also fairly easy.

And how is 2-3 damage better then a 27 dex, how does that scale?

I think that is done on purpose and your not suppose to have gear for the exact lvl your on unless you craft it.. and since you cant craft an entire set for say level 25 and its stagered.. you dont get OP for that area..
SO yea.. if you use AH you can get OP
