As to the game being "buggy" and him dying because of those "bugs"? No...I guarantee you he's standing in crap, everywhere...
The Euro servers right now are actually faster than the US servers and that's for reasons I can't really get into but, I assure you, the Euro servers are better than ours atm...The "Asiatic" servers, we'd have a good debate on but, they're taking on 2-3x the load the US/Euro servers are taking...
I have a colleague that plays from Nice...He gets under a 90 ping and very rarely rubber-bands...I'm not but, 50 miles from my ATT hub that goes directly to Miami ---> Austin and I'm stuck at 130 with constant rubber-banding...Yet, I don't die and I still manage to play the game without issue.
He's just bad...Period. I hate WoW with an incredible passion but, a quote from the game is quite necessary from a Mr. LEEEROOOYYYY JENKINS..."Bads, will always be bads". (He actually has a blog...A popular one at that)

And about the bold part,
So does this means, when you reach some point of the game - lets say in Inferno, and your equipment is average, you have to buy items from AH in order to pass it?

Awsome, thank you for doing that, it will help newbs like me
Too bad I can't trade though, it says I will be able to 3 days after I got the game, but it's been 4 and I still can't. The day after I bought it I got an email that says It says "full access to all game features", I can do the things it does list, but I can't use the RMAH or directly trade so obviously it's not full access to ALL game features.
Oh well, I want to beat it on normal without any outside help first, and it's so easy I don't need better gear (so far) anyways.

Not anymore...For example, I farm act 1 religiously...For ME, it has the best risk vs. reward of any content to date...I roll through it, have @ a 5% chance of getting a 63 item and I leave each run with 30-40 rares, easily.
I start at the blockade Quest, go back to cemetery (someone here suggested this) get 5 stacks there/FoMisery and then I just pop back, do my run.
Takes 45 minutes and I personally feel that it's the best run you could possibly do.
That being said, I do believe you could farm your own items but, it would take a few weeks.
Flipping Unidentified items atm is where the money is at...People spend about 650k on 63 Unid'd Hellracks...And while it's a gamble, on a whim last night, I got a 1200dps/Socket rack...For that 650k.
So, you do have options, be it gambling, the AH or farming your own...I don't believe the AH is required at all but, I do believe that communication with the public, is.

can i get some opinions on life regen vs LoH? just in general for inferno, what sort of attack speed would you need to have to make LoH as good as regen for the same amount (not considering times when you wouldn't actually be able to hit, like frozen or whatnot - just basically like 800 LoH vs 800 Life/sec when constantly connecting) ? also, are they nerfed by a percentage in inferno like Life Steal? I play all classes, so if the answer varies by class, opinions on that too please. thanks

otherwise you are still being one shotted by anything in act two
now if blizzard would buff the witch doctors pet by 25% that would be awesome for inferno

my DH has been up and down on both sides for LOH and/or LR
even when they were on equal grounds 900 LOH vs 900 LR
the LOH keeps you topped up faster than LR
if you have 2 attacks per second that is twice the LOH you get so aprox 1800, and according to general opinion seems like LOH is not as affected as Life Leach is on inferno
however it does still consider your AOE vs single mobs skills when getting LOH, you get almost max 1800 back when using say devouring arrow, but less when you are using grenades, however because grenades does a lot of AOE mini damage, like for example i constantly see 360 popping up repeatedly for each explosion,, or when you fighting Damage Reflect elites, and you see a lot of red + a lot of green at the same time, and the HP globe barely inches down or up, depending if you have suffered any direct hit or not
As you have already pointed out, the downside of LOH is when you are Frozen and can't attack, or say behind walls,
the worse is when you are Triangle walled, and you have nothing to hit, but the Desegration (whatever spelling) eats your HP away per miliseconds, and you can't run
those are the time the LR comes in really handy to slow down the dying process
having very high LR say like 2000 will be very handy, but still doesn't really beat 1000 LOH
as long as you can kite enough distance away and shot things you'll be fine
if Elites teleport to you just drop grenades and SC away, then shoot some more
spell casting types of Elites are easy when you are up close and personal to them, the only types i avoid are the massive bash strikes types of demons, the kind you usually find on Sin Heart runs in Act 3, those can still 1 hit me even with 43k HP with around 5k Armor, and 200+ Resist to all
i found resist to all pretty useless after a while, unless have like 800 or so
so i switched back all my gear back onto VIT + DEX + Armor + LR + LOH + IAS, when i had 360+ resist to all, i had crap DPS and VIT, and that didn't compensate well
as long as you are on the move, and avoid direct spell hits, then you'll be fine.
