As with the above, there's more discussion in that linked topic than just the original post. It wouldn't have done it full justice to just post my portion.
But yes, this is also a forum for discussion (if it wasn't, I wouldn't have linked it here in the first place!)
Besides you say that people will still be able to keep their gear "integrity" which is totally wrong if you take into consideration the other things you suggested. Evocation reduces your crit chance by half? dude... seriously?
You might want to read that one again. Think like the monk passive Sixth Sense. Also, the gear integrity comment is with regard to CM's specific effect and gear association, so, much like OwE, realise that they can't just change it without taking that kind of thing into consideration.
your idea about Thrive on Chaos seems like a buff to barbs, Wotb would work better then archon does right now.
I'm hoping that 'maximum extension of 15 seconds' is being perceived to mean that the buff can last only 30 seconds at an absolute maximum. (which is obviously not a buff compared to perma-WotB).
I can hardly even believe the extent of your lack of all res! Damage mitigation is critical to survivability and is generally more valuable than simply adding more vit. I try to have all res on any item I can. (I have around 500-700 all res when including perfectionist, depending on which items I use).
I didn't notice any bonus to health globe pickup radius, yet you seem to have some bonus life to health globes. Having it on just one item is quite handy. (You don't really need more than that, but it's much better than having none).
You don't seem to have near-capped movement speed. Try to get to 23-25%. Have a look at the item "The Inquisitor", a unique demon hunter cloak.
Perhaps an amulet with dexterity + crit chance (and anything else that comes with it)?
You could try using a quiver (of comparable quality) that has a damage bonus to elemental arrow.
You could also consider legacy nat's set. It really is awesome.
You could try the new and improved sentry skill. (Perhaps with the guardian turret rune).
Also, shadow power + gloom is very, very good. You could use it over smokescreen (And, like said above, get some resistances)
Change sharpshooter to something else like perfectionist, maybe. (Again, the more all res, the better)
You could give vault (tumble rune) + tactical advantage a go. (You could even switch out steady aim. You can't always be out of range, after all. See what you think about staying in range with shadow power + gloom)
It will increase your base damage by 8% of twice your minimum physical damage, and this extra damage will be associated with the poison element (which is relevant only for non-elemental attacks).
You'll then always be hitting for that extra damage, even with arcane orb.

I thought I'd link you to a post I made on the battle.net forums, to see what you think and perhaps contribute to some discussion.

Beta sounds cool.
