I need help!!!!

Hey guys, made it to level 94 Hardcore on cyclone slayer following a guide. Was going for some crit with starforge but got a 914 dps axe so had to switch. Re speceed but didnt go crit. Debating to go back and maybe do so but I am not sure what to drop or pickup. According to tooltip I'm only around 100k dps active combat. Pob says 450k with max stages cyclone but bosses in tier 12 dont delete that fast. Is this just the way it is for a hardcore player? Or do I just need way better gear?
