I am curious how much a monster hits you for today, relative to what it hit for 2+ days ago. For example, if a Dragonfly in Act 2 of inferno normally hit you for an average 10k with each attack, do they hit for 8k now?
Please cite source or the evidence on which you base your answer. (All I am looking for is an estimation of the reduction, THANKS!)
There is an option to display damage numbers within the menu configuration options.
By default, it will only show critical damage, but it's easy to make it show all damage.

From my experience it is approximately 5%. This was in Nightmare where some spell I was using on my wizard was doing about 700-odd damage and the ticks I was taking were in the high 30's.
From some of these shots:
35.08% reduction from armor, 23.49% from arcane resist...
5.28% / ((1 - (35.08%)) * (1 - (23.49%))) = 10.63% this seems strange...
At that low amount, you're not in danger of wild swings up and down if you stack lifesteal. That, or passive health regeneration could keep up with what you lose.

Someone did some data mining, and came to the following numbers:
Monster Level 62(act II): About 36% less
Monster Level 63(act III+IV): About 44% less
