I went with Alira, overall the bonuses are just too good.

Uniques:


I started using a Beltimber recently so I could drop GMP and it seems to be working out alright.

This is what I was using before Beltimber.


Tombfist for intimidate, 2 socket would be ideal so maim has 100% chance instead of 30%.


I chose Loreweave as my armor since I haven't used one, but you could really use anything here.


Started using Lioneye's and really haven't felt much need to replace it. I considered using Great Old One's Ward.

Rares:

+1 projectile, life, resists


life, resists


life, flask mods. Aiming for elder belt with projectile damage.


Fill resists, flat phys, life, crit mods.

Almost all the flask affixes are personal preference, but this is what I opted for.


I've been liking panicked flasks for the full heal when I'm low because of Ryslatha.


Extra evasion, blind and freeze immunity.


Curse immunity.


Chose shock immunity to not have to worry about it.


For the extra projectiles, area also helps the spray.

Poacher's Aim - The pierce really helps with clear and 1 seems to be enough.
Rare: % life, resists, damage, attack speed

Shattering - Vicious Proj - Slower Proj - Brutality - Maim - Increased Crits

CWDT(9) - Lightning Golem(11) - Tempest Shield(12) - Cull
CWDT(3) - Assassin's Mark(7) - IC(5)

Whirling Blades - Faster Attacks - Fortify - Blood Magic(optional)

Grace - Dread Banner - Herald of Purity

Blood Rage - Protector

I started the league with this build and just upgraded my main hand when I could and leveled with shattering steel, felt fine if you could keep up with your weapon.
