I disagree on switching Acid Cloud for Bears only because of 0 LoH. I run 0 LoH/LL and don't use Bears.
I'm at 55k dps with Pierce the Veil and Enchantress, and PtV makes Bears essentially unspammable. So I use a skill that has a nice DoT, cast it every ~3.5 seconds (or spam a bit depending on mob positioning), with an absolutely huge hit radius in Acid Rain. Granted, Bears does a lot more damage, but if you don't gear up for mana regen, things get tricky and you might end up with 0 mana to cast Spirit Walk when you need it and that's a bummer to say the least.
Things are not set in stone.
If you don't have a lot of gold to spend, I say get tankier and then go for an awesome weapon. I first went for ~80k HP, 30k+ dps with some +armor and all res gear to make my pets very tanky. This helped immensely as I was able to consistently farm Act 3, albeit a little slow due to low dps. You don't need to effectively stack a lot of crit to get a nice dps boost, getting to a mid 20's chance is fine along with some IAS and high int.
