Apparently items changed with the mystic aren't showing properly on the profile and several pieces (most really) of my gear are actually different than what's shown via the mystic. The only piece of gear I currently have that can have +fire damage but currently doesn't is my necklace (the LoH is actually 97% crit dmg via mystic change). Once I can get a solid necklace with comparable STR/Crit Dmg/Crit Chance that I can also roll +fire dmg on, it will finally be complete.
So far my largest HotA crit on an elite is 54 million, though the conditions seem to need to be perfect for this to happen as it's very rare. On average though, it's not uncommon for me to see several 30+ mil point crits while fighting elites.
The fire chains from Maximus however confuses me. The standard damage from them seem to crit for 4 mil, which ticks fast and crits often. So, that in of itself is quite powerful and an exceptional boost of free dps. However, there are some circumstances where the damage on the chains skyrocket to ridiculous heights for no good reason from what I can tell. We're talking, regular chains with no cooldowns blown critting for 22 million and we're talking fast crit spam. When this happens, pretty much everything the chains touch melts instantly but I don't know what causes this to occur, if it's intentional or a bug and if it is a bug, no clue how to reproduce it. (Sometimes it crits for 3-4 mil which seems to be the standard, sometimes for 9-10 mil and sometimes for 18-22 mil. *shrug*)
Overall, it's a very fun build with very powerful attacks. While at first glance may appear squishy, it's actually quite durable, capable of venturing into T3 without too much issue. I have a Unity on my templar that cuts most of my damage in half right from the getgo. With a few tweaks to the build and paragon, it's possible to venture into T4 and T5, though it's too risky for me to do so comfortably. Still though, I'm having a lot of fun with it and once I complete my Raekor's set (currently sitting at 2 pieces), my furious charges will be hitting like a truck.

Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness,
Bringing torment and pain to others.
Your damned soul wallowing in your sin.
Perhaps... it is time to die.
I'm using something similar strongarm bracers work with furious charge for a free 24% boost. I found dualwield with thunderfury/sankis axe better then maximus, more fury regen and healing from bloodthirst that way and the ignore pain proc is nice as well. 2H is fun for big crits and the fire chain is quite crazy. I'm comfortably doing T4 atm just need 3 more Raekor's pieces for complete insanity
Strongarm seems like a good bracer choice. I've been buying them from Kadala but she's being stingy. Today I went through my full stack of 500 shards with no legendary.
As for dual-wielding, I agree that it's better overall but I don't have a sankis yet. However, Maximus is still very fun and viable and when it wants to, those fire chains hit like a truck.
Also, I didn't log out in my regular gear. I was running Cache runs and went full blown movespeed clear build trying to get the set ring (and still no luck). There's some things the game loves to give me and there's some things the game refuses to.

Sankis procs ignore pain 50% damage reduction for 4 secs, doesn't proc all the time but if you get hit by several mobs it usually procs and it's great. Grats on the SoJ nice one. Still not sure which rings I want so many choices the act1 bounty bag ring for a faster raekor's bonus, hellfire ring, SoJ and I just got a bulkathos wedding band with 28k healthglobe damage and the lifedrain is like 4.4k hps also nice.
