If you go that route you should also take Iron Grip and Point Blank.
However, I don't think you will be able to sustain the mana costs without EB, and you certainly won't be able to run 6-7 auras.
So I'm guessing this build isn't viable on hardcore?

You could probably make it work but it would be dangerous against reflect.

Yeh it seems a bit squishie. Plus es/armor gear is often on the lower end in terms of armor, the trade off being the energy shield functioning as health but with ek that strength is traded off.

A dagger/shield version might be more appropriate for hc. I'll have to test around.
Looks like player Accuracy is getting buffed in the next patch, meaning this build will be even stronger!
Very good build. At first i make it to farm some gems from templar quests, but now its one of my favorite. With unique axe Limbsplit Woodsplitter and some rare stuff it have 300+ dps on 15 lvl. Amazingly fast levelling. I rush throgh normal difficlty for 3 hours.
I'm currently level 60 on anarchy and still farming fellshrine ruins. I'm really struggling to level beyond this. I currently have tons of mana and am running clarity, hatred, determination, reduced mana, and discipline, about 1500 armor, and about 1500 life.

I can't seem to kill mobs fast enough. I've got multistrike, added elemental, lightning penetration on my lightning strike and only do about 1100 dps.

I've also got crit weakness and projectile weakness, and crit seems to work a bit better at this stage.

Right now I'm having to rely on firetraps to deal with packs of mobs. I can't find a 5 link so I can add faster attacks. The archers are 2-3 shotting me.

Am I pretty much hosed without a faster attacks?

I prefer Faster Attacks over Lightning Pen. You're biggest problem is probably your weapon. Make sure you have a high dmg weapon for your current lvl. Also getting a 5L should be a priority for you. I notice you have extremely low health, you should make sure you have all the life nodes and life on all your gear.
For the 5L use:
Lightning Strike
Wep Ele Dmg
Faster Attacks
Multistrike
Life Leech
Patch bumped up my accuracy from 77% to 84%, now doing 19.6k dps.
