Touch of anguish is great starter and great unique, but not end game especially with single target.

Yeah I understand, I'm sure the OP will return. Anyway, if it helps, to fix accuracy issues, if you can't afford to drop anything in the passive tree to pick up accuracy there, there's always accuracy on rings, amulet, gloves, helms and on jewels - that might be enough.

Touch of Anguish is pretty key for this build and I doubt there's better alternatives as far as unique claws are concerned - unless you don't care about the skill chaining and are using Ice Bite (more on this below). While leveling of course you can use any rare high phys / attack speed weapon such as 1H foils or claws. There are also good low level unique weapons that should be cheap to pick up.

In terms of best gem setups - when Path of Building is updated today or tomorrow, have a play around. There may be more or less suitable setups depending on whether you're doing general clearing or going after bosses where single target DPS / cold penetration is key. I'll be having a look to see if I can fit in the reworked Ice Bite gem as it now deals flat cold damage and also further scaling off frenzy charges, this could become a vital part of your 5L or 6L setup. Since it grants a much higher chance for frenzy charge generation on kill as well, it *may* mean you can drop one of your Touch of Anguish claws and substitute for something else. You may not be able to drop BOTH of them (and you probably won't - that chain is pretty good).

So yeah you're right - a bit of work to do with the theory-crafting but the "optimal" setups will emerge before 3.0 goes live. I'll certainly be playing around with PoB to figure this stuff out regardless of whether or not OP comes back.

EDIT: New Ice Bite gem: http://cb.poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Ice+Bite+Support
Old Ice Bite: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ice_Bite_Support

Yeah I theorycrafted a lot on my own and have my own build and stuff in path of building ill be following. Tested some myself on beta. Touch of anguish is great starter and great unique, but not end game especially with single target.

Will be running a full phys claw + lycosidae shield to handle the accuracy issues. Turned out a LOT higher dps on path of building that way. Also gems I believe I will be running is FB > Added Cold dmg > Cold Pen > Multistrike > WED > Ele Focus (maybe icebite instead)

What is your recommendation for an endgame weapon?

Hello all!
With the release of 3.0 tomorrow, I'm here to tell you that. This build will be still perfect for 3.0 esp as a league starter. Tonight I will be updating the main tree onto the 3.0 tree.
