as the title suggestion - i'm trying to decide which legendary gems to use for a sunwoku's - holy monk pull build. i assume ill need mirinae; buti 'm torn between the other two - as a few seem like viable options: a) bane of the trapped, powerful; c) gogok of swiftness
suggestions anyone? i'd greatly appreciate it.

1) Mirinae, 2) Gogok, and optional 3) Pain Enhancer. But both Mirinae and Gogok are a no-brainer, and I'd actually level up the Gogok to 25 before the Mirinae as the secondary (15% CDR) is very important for an SWK monk. More IAS+more CDR = more procs/more spirit = more damage.
When Bane of the Trapped gets fixed (starts working on item proc damage as well) it will be the best choice for third gem besides Mirinae and Gogok. Also Taeguk is mathed to be one of the best gems dps wise, but in practice it will take some extra effort to keep the stack up since the restacking takes quite some time.

I wonder: Why Eye of Peshkov? I just found one, but with Gogok and a Leoric's crown, I have 100% uptime on the heal buff, and Leoric's improves all my CD, Epiphany, Dash etc, instead of just the heal. Does the build actually use the heal for sustain?
I don't know why, but Mirinae feels sort of weak to me, the proc seems do do way less damage than a Sunwuko proc, even though they should be comparable (3500 SWK vs 3000 for lvl 25 Mirinae). Its still a strong gem, don't get me wrong, but why does my Sunwuko crit for like 200+ mio while Mirinae crits for something like 60 mio when it should be more in the 150s?
I use Mirinae + Gogok. My SWK Amulet sucks, so no 3rd gem yet.
Without Peshhov you will need 66% cdr to get breath of heaven up at all times (15 second cd, lasts for 5 seconds). Thats difficult to do without sacrificing damage else where and stacking a lot of cdr. The more efficient choice is to use Peshkov.
Regarding the smite gem, I'm not sure why yours is criting for so low (although it could be due to the fact that you're I suspect your stacking so much cdr to compensate for not using Peshkov that you're losing damage rolls). It should be double that for most people with good gear. And with FoF, it procs all the damn time.
Eye of Peshkov kind of loses its appeal if you're above a certain CDR threshold... but to get there, you probably sacrificed DPS. I personally run SWK crown. Honestly, I don't know exactly either. I might actually run Leoric's Crown myself as I got a perfect one.
Mirinae should crit just for about as much as SWK, sounds strange. I'll test it out later though. But I'm pretty sure both SWK and Mirinae crit for 200m+.
Edit: Actually, can I see your gear? I'm interested how you get to 66% CDR (100% BoH uptime) and 200m+ crits. Or are you talking about a group setup with some buff bots (support WD and so on)?
