Thunderfury isn't restricted to any act. At least it wasn't in the last PTR build. Mine had dropped just before Belial there.
Anyhow, about APoC and what-not. If you are ready to sacrifice two active slots (familiar - arcanot and storm armor - power of the storm) and a passive slot (astral presence), then it is possible to use disintegrate for some very extended periods of time at 1.2 att/sec. If you get lucky to loot 3 pieces on new Tal Rasha / have 4 pieces of legacy Tal Rasha --- 1.42 attacks per second at 117 AP can last you for about 35 seconds. Most packs will die before you go OOM.
And as a hardcore hardcore player, I totally agree about blur. For channeling spells (not just disintegrate, but arcane torrent and frost ray too), it is all but a must.Also, Magic weapon - deflection is a nice way to buff your survivability if you are still lacking it --- that shield can absorb a lot of damage for you as it recovers very quickly and, unlike dominance, will be there when you need... It's kinda hard to keep dominance shield up in the boss / super-tough elite fights, after all. Also, once RoS is out, I suggest Unwavering will as the fourth passive -- it will boost not only survivability, but also damage, and since channeling spells require you to stand in one place, the passive will be buffing us pretty much always when we attack
