Hm, I finished it as the Engineer class not too long ago and it's really, REALLY tough.

I highly recommend you complete the game first and then import the saved data over and play with that character as the higher level will go in your favour.

I also recommend having Reave as your additional power as it sucks up a lot of the enemy's sheilds/barriers/armour and considering that even the Varren have armour in the Insanity mode, this is a very helpful power.

Learning to use the Cain heavy weapon will help you with all the big/uber health bosses like the Threasher Maw and end boss as that can pretty much knock out a huge chunk out of their health. Also find and nab as many heavy weapon upgrades as possible, the Cain only works when you have 100% ammo

I also recommend doing this as either a Soldier or a Infiltrator. Soldiers have this amazing power that slows everything down so you can knock out a baddie between the eyes quicker than you can say, 'Take it off Miranda'. The Infiltrator is also great as it makes you invisible to baddies, which is something you really need to wear down their barriers. I don't recommend being an Engineer as I found it INCREDIBLY hard!

All this and remember to save lots, try not to use medi-gel as there's not that much in the game (your squad gets revived automatically when you wipe out a certain unit of baddies)and run for your life! If you get get the bosses stuck in some of the furniture, this also really helps. Nab squad mates that can wear the baddies barriers, shields or armour (in that order) and prepare to be very, very frustrated!

Hope that helps!

Make sure to buy all the upgrades you can for/from your ship so you can have everyone on your team survive the final mission. Also make sure you stick with either paragon or renegade for the majority of your decisions, it will effect certain in-game situations

Soldier/Infiltrator with sniper. Pop bullet time/cloak, headshot, back to cover. Don't get the autosniper, it sucks. Use Garrus/Thane, later switch it to Garrus/Legion when legion gets his ubergun. Likewise, pick the anti tank cannon when the uber weapons come along.

You didn't say what class you're playing, OP.

One of the most important things is to make sure you take the right squadmates for each mission. You want people who can strip the defenses of the enemies you'll be fighting, and who can complement your own abilities.

For example, one of the most annoying and difficult enemies to fight on Insanity are Husk swarms, because they're all armoured and can quickly overwhlem you. If you're an Infiltrator or Engineer, I highly suggest getting Incineration Blast (the area specialisation), because one shot of that will remove all their armour, and another shot will kill them outright even if their health doesn't deplete, because it takes out their limbs. I also suggest taking Grunt to fight husks, as his bullrush cuts through them like butter, and his Inferno Ammo strips their armour.

So basically, Miranda plus one other

I know that Area Reave knocks out all of the Husk armour as well on Insanity, so bringing along Samara is a viable option for anti-husk combat, not to mention Reave itself is ownage for getting rid of defenses.
