And giving and giving and giving… and able to revive an old thread too… 
Still playing a mix of this and the older one and dinged lvl98 and I have finished all the empowered level 100 MoFs, killed empowered shadyboy more than a few times and just managed a 220 lvl arena without much hassle (got trapped and couldnt move away from some DoT ground effects else wouldve survived longer - would love Diablos boots that let you move through mobs 
).
If anyone is interested:
Mixed and matched most of the changes from both builds into a sort of hybrid version… not quite as tanky as one but more DPS than the other… Most obvious things i did was use the Undisputed instead of a second Shard of the Shattered Lance. The 0.8.2 changes also apply especially things like idols etc. and I swapped around a few passives sacrificing all block for Str and getting the Penance node etc… So its gets the boost of the Shattered Lance set but also the Undisputed/Bleed/Penance… Works quite well for me and generates health damn fast through regen AND the occassional leech affix… (if you want to forgo the shattered lance set you can use Valdyr’s Chalice… Only downside is DoT/ground effects. Virtually immue to physical damage thanks to the new armour change in 0.8.2 and damage is pretty decent too… can take out packs of mobs in a second or two and most rares take not much longer… Damn physical beetle queens are no fun tho… Skills i changed to more healing & offence in general losing the block based nodes etc…
So… still a build that works really well and if you like melee play with very simple skill use then its definitely worth a try…
