Mostly witch doctor stuff

I don't think you need to change much gear at all. I think the biggest change gear-wise I would consider is to try swapping out the quiver for a second 1-hand crossbow.

So I finally got Myriam to cough up a socket on a 2nd Danetta's xbow, and I switched to a build closer to what you suggested:

I've done a few T1 rifts with it, and I think I'm ready for T2-but I'm waiting to craft a couple of good Aughild's pieces (helm now in stash; just need bracers). I realize that losing Pride's Fall and Reapers will lower the number of Cluster Arrows I can throw out, but I really want that extra damage buffer against Corrupted Angel and Exarch elite mobs. I've also switched one of the affixes on the SoJ, and manged to add a 3rd socket to the Cindercoat. Oh, and my DH is pretty much my main now, despite what I wrote above.

F.I.T., congrats on the Ice Climbers! They get rid of a lot of dangerous situations as well as minor annoyances (doors in the Pandemonium Fortress). I just have to remember that when I switch over to my monk, she DOES have to worry about frozen. Speaking of monk, I took her into some T2 rifts for the first time last night, with good results. I was playing with a high-DPS barb, so I just had to group up mobs and provide support. CS + EP + (DPS from group) works quite well together. Now seems like a good time to reiterate how poorly the Battle.net armory is working:

DH - http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Aahzm...o/26203755

Monk - http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Aahzm...o/32991130

About the same...right? DPS and Toughness pretty equal? Not hardly. My monk cannot kill white mobs in a 4-player game, while the DH has no trouble killing elites quickly. On the other hand, the monk's toughness now clocks in at 18MM and she runs towards the purple second hands. Last night I easily tanked blue mallet lords with the avenger affix. Didn't even get down to 1/2 life. It would be nice if Blizzard put a little more effort into both the armory and in-game data.

Upcoming plans: get some more forgotten souls for Aughild's crafting. Dip my toe into T3 with the monk to see how frigid it is.
