Resists...

Offhand being unstyled always, you'll lose out on a massive 10 or so damage per hit on it, when comparing 16.5 dps to 15.0 dps. If you can get everything else you want from your set, I atleast don't see any point slowing down your attacks just to use highest possible dps in offhand as DW-haste doesn't reduce style +damage (as we can see from zerkers & sz's very well).

You could always go with War Hammer and a Dirk for maximum haste if you're going to craft em out, as just swinging the offhand is enough to haste.

btw, any over charge below 5.5 won't be a bomb, if all 99% gems ofc

You have an inherent 10% resistance to crush. You have no bonus or penalty to slash resist. You are 10% vulnerable to thrust.
Most important are: body heat cold energy. Spirit and matter are debatably useful.... matter is AE DOTs, all weapon DOT procs, and some other shaman spells - root, disease etc. Spirit is middie PBAE and also a few weak crowd control spells, which being a merc (and thus, I assume, having determination2+ ) you don't really give a cack about.
For a merc I'd say your priorities were to cap dex, str, qui and con, hits, cold/heat/energy/body resists, +weapon spec and +parry, then if you can fit anything else in, stick it into matter and spirit.

Oh.... and if you can afford/bear to use a temporary suit until 1.63, the following is possible in 1.63 with only a single 100%qua piece:

All the +thrust is replacable with +slash or whatever. There's none on jewellery.

btw 34/28 <--- ain't even possible even if ur gems are 99/mp
best is 5.5 overcharge like yuanyuan said

 

[old.LandShark]

Oh, how curious, hadn't noticed that...
Oh well.... either drop the qui on right hand to 22 and make do with 73 total, or it requires 2 MP items and not 1

 

[belth]

Can propably wiggle them around a bit to get the missing Qui, try getting v2 of the proggy
