So my DH is almost to lvl 60 now and im wondering on the best build for inferno. Is a crit LOH build the way to go? Also 2 1H crossbows or a 2 hander?

Harlo, I am a 60 Demon Hunter with 140k DPS with SS and 60K DPS without SS (Steady Shot + Archery). From my experience, blast cannoning works effectively in acts 1 and 2 if you are good at dodging attacks. Acts 3 and 4 are a bit challenging for blast cannons as everything 1 shot us. The mentality behind blast cannoning is "Might as well optimize my DPS class by going all out damage."

SKILLS:
- Essentials: Smoke Screen (Lingering Fog), Shadow Power (Gloom), and Preparation (Backup Plan)
- Damage skills are up to your preferences really...

*Use Smoke Screen in the most dire situations
*Use Shadow Power vs Reflect damage elites and Siegebreaker
*Use Preparation whenever you're out of Discipline

GEAR:
- Slots: Know what item slots are capable of (Ex: Gloves can have Atk speed, Crit %, and Crit Dmg)
- Weapon: Have one 2H Xbow for major DPS and another 2H Bow for major LoH (vs Reflect)
- Attributes: Crit % > Atk Speed > Crit Dmg > Dex > +Min/Max Dmg

*DPS Wise, there are slots that are more important: Weapon > Gloves > Quiver/Ring/Amulet > Others
*2H Xbow: Look for Dex and socket
*2H Bow: Look for LoH and socket
*Attributes: Usually more Dex than Vit (You'll need All Resis to increase survivability)

BLAST CANNONing... is what I like to call it.. I've heard glass cannon or w/e.. .which makes no sense to me. Also, you should consider another cheaper approach: The DH tank build which is gaining quiet the reputation on forums. Check it out here http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5979218484

it all depends on how much u wanna spent on ur gear cuz dh is solely depended on gears
2 1k dps 1h xbow with 100 crit dmg socket and 2% and more life steal is the way to go if you can come across them

I would stick with bow because 15% dmg and it looks cooler
and LoH + Crit is standard build for all chars until blizzard starts nerfing again
