I'm in a dilemma. I want to upgrade my weapon but not sure of which stats to look for. I know LOH is a must, but not sure if I should get LOH with Life steal.
If you're going defensive and you don't really have a lot of DPS, get the LoH and forget the Life Steal, as with low DPS/tank your return on life steal will be super small.
I'm currently in act 2, and I'm pretty sure I will be able to clear it (without skipping elite packs). My build is defensive:

My stats unbuffed:
Dex: 1540
Crit chance: 33%
Crit dmg: 78%
LOH: 500
Armor: 7300 (a bit high)
Res: 600
DPS: 14k
Vit: 600
Sword/Shield. And sword stats are: 600 dps, 120 dex, 500 LoH. I need to work on my res/vit.
I want to upgrade my weapon as I think my dps will be very low for act 3.
I'm not sure if I should go for socket/LOH/Life steal weapon or just go for high LOH and if possible with socket for extra damage (fist/dagger/sword).
