As the game stands now, I strongly suggest anyone that wants to roll a Barbarian or Monk for Inferno and doesn't want to use the AH to gear up, to roll a Demon Hunter and use a glass cannon build to farm Act II Inferno for Barbarian gear (Maghda runs are easy, fast, and give tons of loot).

Thanks to that, I've managed to grab a pretty decent Barb gear, that has put my armor in the 10K mark (with War Cry at 40%), resists at 450 (all resist is probably one of the most important mods for gear in a melee class), 18.5K DPS (with Battle Cry at 30%) and a pretty darn fast attack speed (with 5 stacks of frenzy it goes up to 2.85). My only lacking stat is HP, at 36K, but that can be compensated with higher quality gems.

Also, if anyone is finding the self heal of a Barb insufficient, your best approach to it is to get as much Life on Hit and HP regen as possible. I myself got over 250 LoH and 600 HP regen, and given that at max Frenzy I can hit for almost 3 times per second, my life regen is almost 1.4K per second, which coupled with Revenge, means I can stand in mid mobs on Act I and my health barely dents.

All this was tried with a party of 3, so I think this build will fare even better solo (because of much weaker enemies).

Disclaimer - I did have to use the AH once for my Barb (heck, this has happened for all my three main characters), because after Normal, I can't get a single rare ring to drop, even with 190% MF and 5 stacks of NV and days and days of loot runs on Inferno. Heck, I still have level 25 rings on my characters >_>. Don't know what's up with that. 

Mmm Maybe I should try Mahga's run.

Right now I clear Vault of the Assassin ( ~ 10 elite packs) and then go kill Zoltan Kulle. I actually get most of my drops from the elites and the patch is going to improve that even more..

Where exactly you get your NNV buffs if you run Magha ? 

Usually I get 3 to 4 stacks from the random vault level that pops up in the Dalhgur Oasis and the last stack in Alcarnus (I usually get two elite/champion packs there). 

I go into the vault, TP, Waypoint to Alcarnus, kill everything in a straight line till Maghda and kill her. My fastest run was 20 minutes.

My run takes 1h, more if I have to clear the whole desolate sands before finding Vault of the Assassin.

Still it's not so bad as once I have 5 stacks of NV most elite packs drop two rares( I have 50 ish MF to add to the NV buff) so I pull like 15 rares in 1 hour...

PS : you can't mean Dalghur Oasis, if you have that waypoint you should be past Maghda's quest already or is she still alive if you start at a later quest ?
