Photon, the general rule of thumb with any Diablo game before you need resistance gear (pre hell imo) is to stack Vitality #1 and your primary damage stat #2. Easiest way to do this is to use the AH to find gear with your two primary stats you want, set the threshold for those stats (I usually go between 50-60 on my act 2 nm monk). Then set your buyout price. Check a few times a day while you are playing, and I guarantee you will start to find gear with your stats for really cheap. The trick is that once you have set your threshold stats, if the price is cheap buy it immediately, don't stop to look at the stats. If you stop, the item will be bought by someone else. Something I've learned the hard way.
For comparison, I have a lvl 38 monk with 13000hp and over 800 dps. He can solo anything easily, pulling multiple mobs and champion packs. So far I haven't died once in Nightmare, and facerolled my way through act 1 and most of act 2.
