I would definetely go for Off-Hand, Weapon and Chest.
Chest maybe you could buy a low priced Zunimassa's Marrow, its costly but an hell of an upgrade (and you already have 2 pieces so you'll take the 55 AR bonus).
Also the wep and oh aren't that good, look for Ukhapian Serpent with 10 CC or ToTD with some nice stats if you want to use Grave Injustice in the future. Weapon you could get not for much something in the 1000+ dps and 90+ crit, which would improve your damage a lot.
Buying slightly better gems and changing the helm one is planned. Shouldn't be too expensive.
How is the zumi chest a great upgrade? I'm not logged in right now so can't double check but unless I missed something i'd "only" gain some all res + the all res bonus. Sitting on 400+ res right now I feel rather comfortable. Thoughts?
Now regarding the weapon, this is probably my next big investment when I can afford it (unless the set chest..). What about actually going for Skorn? I'd need to do some math but given how expensive good 1h with crit dmg + socket are, why not going for a Skorn ? I realize it would probably take a 1400 dps one with 300+ INT and good crit dmg.. No idea how compatible it is with my current gears though.. again, thoughts?
Edit: Oh and while i'm at it. Something really important that i've been wondering: How does the weapon displayed "dps" works vs INT ? In other words, let's say I give up on the 300 INT I have on my weapon, how much more pure dps do i have to gain to make it even? I'm guessing there must be some math but I have no idea how it works..
When buying a weapon, keep in mind that the +poison damage on your zumi boots and stone of jordan, as well as a tal rasha's amulet if you ever get one, only apply to the portion of a weapon's damage that isn't elemental. Meaning you want a weapon with % damage in addition to min-max damage - not poison damage, or fire damage, arcane damage, etc. As such my above suggestion of manajuma's knife is kinda weak since it has poison damage.
And I can't stress enough the importance of leech. Probably 50% of elite packs have reflect damage, and even with leech you have to be extremely careful - but without it you're really screwed at higher MP levels. I suspect this is a bug/oversight and will be adjusted though, so now might not be the best time to buy a weapon. I'm pretty sure blizzard doesn't actually think we all *must* have leech on our weapons, they keep giving lip service about wanting us to have options...
I still recommend the zumi set as a priority because the 4pc bonuses are very good. Look for decently rolled pieces, since prices are really coming down now that this stuff drops like candy.
I have about 10M right now, stuff on AH for another 10M
What do you think about The Witching Hour? it has some crit damage i'm lacking, and the atk speed is always nice.
At this point im wondering if its not the best upgrade I could get for ~20-30M.
Zuni body is nice but not a must have till i can't afford a 4th piece, and good zuni ring/mojo is really expensive..

Been a while I didn't go shopping for my WD. What's good? whats decent? what's terribad? Where would you invest and with what if you had ~40-50M?
Would appreciate some thoughts!

Alternatively you could buy a socketed manajuma's.
You could buy better gems for your helm and weapon as well, and the helm one should be red.
