As for farming spots in Act 1...not really sure. People have suggested:
-Just clearing the whole act over and over
-Doing butcher runs
-Farming the elite mob in Warrior's Rest with MF gear (this works if you're looking for decent rares to sell, and apparently can net you a legendary or two if you're lucky)
But do NOT farm Act 1 for gear, farm for gold and buy stuff off AH. You'll be there for months if you're farming for gear, because all the stuff you need for Act 2 drops in Act 3 and 4, sadly. (gg blizz)
