Hmmm, I don't really have the numbers you want, but:
1) Minus resistance is a very effective tool.
2) Most AVs heal 94 hit points per second. No idea how much -regen it takes to floor them. I never had any -regen.
3) Giant monsters heal the equivalent of about 360 hit points per second. Some archetypes can solo them without temps or inspirations. Some scrappers can solo them by nuking them. Two DPS scrappers could duo them. I don't have a lot of giant monster experience, but they actually seem to have less damage output than AVs. Where they probably come out ahead is that I think they tend to have and use large radius AoEs. Keep the squishies at range.
4) You're worrying too much about it. I've never had major trouble with AVs on three man teams, and we gave no specific consideration to how to build for AVs, correct team composition, or anything like that. Only rarely had trouble duoing AVs. Soloing AVs, not so easy without some planning.

I started posting, deleted my post, saw Werner's reply... Pretty much what I was about to say, said better.
I'd add I believe you'd need about 650% -regen to floor an AV, seeing as 500% reduces their regen to a fourth of their base IIRC.

Resistance debuffs are resisted by the specific damage resistances of the target in question. To put it in a less confusing way, if you've got 20% -res and the target has 20% +res(s/l) and 30% +res(fire), it would end up with 4% +res(s/l), 16% +res(fire), and -20% +res(every other). The formula to calculate it is totalRes = (baseRes - ((1-baseRes)*resDebuff)); keep in mind that all of the res values should be in decimals (20% = .20).|

For Culex's spreadsheet on the resistances of pretty much everything in game, download from http://www.culex.us/ig/coh/CHres.xls. It's probably one of the most comprehensive spreadsheets out there.

Hey all, I have done quite a bit of searching on the forums trying to find some more info on avs, but haven't quite found what I wanted so I thought I would come here to the almighty scrapper forums for the knowledge I seek

3)how much more difficult are giant monsters than avs? Can they be done with a 4 or 5 man team?
4)any additional info that would assist in taking down avs would be greatly appreciated
