How to gear a barbarian for Inferno Acts 1-4

I notice that a lot of barbarians seem to gear up with as much all resist they could find. This is definitely not the way to go. It could only get you so far. Plus, all resist gear costs a lot of gold since everyone thinks its the most effective way to gear up barbs. (Note: Economy is driven by what people think.) What I try to do is increase my EHP. EHP is effective health pool which is calculated based on your stats. By increasing your EHP you increase your survivability.

So how do I increase my EHP?
 Its easy! Do not favor one stat! You do not need to focus on one defensive stat! Try to maximize as many defensive stats as you can.

Before you buy something in the auction house calculate whether it will increase your EHP. Some overrated legendaries like the string of ears may not give you as much EHP as you thought they would. Once you get around 3 million EHP, inferno will be a complete cakewalk. You will be able to farm diablo with 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor!

I wish you all well on your quest to increase your EHP!
