Sword and Board.

You'll need a 1H weapon with minimum 700 dps and with some strength and vitality.
You'll need a shield with minimum 1000 armor and 20% chance to block 2750-4200 Dmg.
All you're gear need + All Resistance. (All and all a minimum of around 800 Resistance)
You need minimum 7-8k armor.
You need around 40K HP.

Skills need to be setup defensively.

Can't remember all mine now but will check later.

That build got me to solo 100+ Minions, 10-15 Elite's and 2 big ass creeps at the same time on hell act 4.
Its good enough to survive Act1 Inferno..ActII things start getting hard again..so you'll need to up + all Resistance to around 1200 and around 10k armor. You'll also need a weapon that does 800+ Dps ect.
All. Of. This.

There is a major theorycrafting thread on reddit right now, where a guy describes how his monk with a friends' barb finished the butcher in inferno. They had a wizard on as pure dps, but the bard and monk survivability is there.
