If you use Weapon Master Passive, Polearm is not very good, as the 15% IAS brings nothing for this build, as Rend and Charge rely solely on pure Weapon Damage not DPS, and IAS only pushes DPS. So Axe or Mace is the way to go because of highest possible Weapon Damage and 10% Crit from Weapon Master which directly pushes Weapon Damage. So a ~1100DPS Mace is as good as your 1250DPS Polearm Damage-wise (not talking 'bout DPS here, remember ) when using Weapon Master Passive in this Build.
Well duh, but the best mace I could afford at the time had 40% less crit, 200 less str and about 300 less dps, do the math

Thanks Typho for a really nice build. I'll have to try this out after finding a suitable 2h mace on the AH. I'm a bit bored with the vanilla dual wield style (not ww).
It's a good time to buy, I couldn't find a suitable mace but ended up with a 1250 DPS pole-arm with 112% crit damage, 400 STR, and other non offensive stats for 100K. I'm sure people with a normal budget can find something much better and this weapon puts me at 90K buffed with my build.

I was using a similar build to the OP's for awhile, but I wasn't using rend. Now that I've put that in, I haven't looked back. I have about 1.5 mil worth of gear and "handling" act 3. Thanks!
