Insofar as killing and horking goes, consider having a couple high-MF weapons on switch (IE Ali Baba, Gull). If you're confident about your horking success rate, these can greatly increase your drops. They can also be used on slivered or otherwise fragile monsters to beef up the initial drop.
Also, you need to think about surviving these runs, and BO won't always do it alone - especially with the damage the cows can do. I'd recommend additional points into shout/iron skin, especially if you're not using a shield. Iron Skin is always on, but has less effect, while Shout has to be cast, but synergizes back and forth with Battle Orders/Battle Command for increased duration. No-defense nellies don't last long in a fight in 1.10, so look to your AC to divert at least some of the enemy's offense away from your health.
