Ok, after I had some time to fume yesterday and really get down to the nitty gritty... I still hate these repair costs and think they're ridiculously high, but overall the game play has improved.

The damage definitely went down a lot. My witch doctor is in Act 4 Inferno still and can take a hit without dieing, unless its a really powerful hit from one of the big gargoyles, etc. In Act II, everything was a lot easier but there are still certain elite/rare packs that will tear you to shreds. I must have spent 100k on repairs all last night.
Having a 5 stack of Nephalem Valor really makes running the entire act worthwhile. My wife and I got a 5 stack in Act 1, cleared the Butcher, and then went back and killed all the elites we could find. Getting at least 1 rare item from each pack is really nice. I actually got an upgrade for my chest armor. It was only a few hundred dps increase, but it gave me over 2k health and 250 armor. It's the first inferno drop that's been an upgrade for me. I got a few other things that may sell for 20-50k on the AH and one ring that could net 200k+, but that's it. The rest of it was vendor fodder.
