Maximum fury is necessary because it going increase your critical chance of your hammer due to skill effect.

Hammer of the Ancients has a 1% increased Critical Hit Chance for every 5 Fury that you have

So, 180+ fury maximum is needed (Weapon + Paragon + Belt).

Tips :

With this bonus critical chance, you can remove it from helm (so you can increase your vitality), and if you are not lucky with hellfire amulet dmg : fire% - strength - critical damage it's a good choice.

For example with this setup you will get 86% CC with 180+ fury max and you get +10% CC from iceblink's barb support.

So, your hammer has 96% CC without crit on helm + amulet.

Otherwise, if you get critical chance on your amulet, then you can replace CC from restraint/focus for APS : Attack speed/Critical Damage/Strength

Build Guide

About

It's not complicated to be strong with this build.

You must always stay in sanctuary monk, always be maximum fury for berserker rage (you must will never had this problem because there is passive weapon master)

Hellfire is obligatory with passive nerve of steel in our case.

By the way if you got perfect supports in your group you can remove nerve of steel and put brawler for more increase your DPS, but it will more harder

Snapshotting pot method

Reach about 90-95% completion in rift. Find a big pack of mobs that you know will complete the the bar without changing zones.
Charge into the pack, try to proc PE on everything so you go all the way up to 3.0+ APS.
Use a potion ASAP.
Spawn the RG and enjoy your ridiculous snapshotted Stricken ticks.
