I think you can run any build in nightmare/hell and it will work
On the OP, if you are sticking with your gold find set, at least change your weapon to have crit dmg and a socket, it can easily add 10k to your dps and your life will be easier.
I use CA exclusively, and I would say it works even better in close-quarter areas as the clusters will all hit. I agree it's slow and it's costly but that's the benefit of going dual wield, I can regenerate hatred pretty fast, couple with the bat it's no problem.
Problem I experienced with EA is you have to stand and shoot where as CA offers a bit more mobility which is the core of my playing style :>
I only really used Impale for boss fight while progressing, nowadays most elites die in a few CA
At OP, your gear is decent enough for act 3, I would however consider changing either entangling shot or multishot, you lack single target dps, entangling just doesn't cut it imo. I am still a big fan of cinder arrows, and you can swap smokescreen instead of shadow power since the latter is more for tanking than straight kiting.
Personally I would go dw if you use 1h xbow, if you prefer a fast attack speed go with a bow instead, you need a lot of crit dmg to make 1h xbow really effective.
Personally I would suggest you go with a bow/2h xbow if you use a quiver, otherwise go dualwield.
And don't choose Vengence, go with Steady Aim, and if possible equip a Cold weapon on your follower of choice (preferably Scoundrel so he can multishot snare the mobs + 3% crit aura)
In addition, I would consider going Cinder Arrows instead of Spray which requires higher crit chance to be effective, while cinder offers great single target dmg, and you can consider using battle scar for Prep if you struggle with surviving too.
Gear wise, you need crit damage, lots of it, try to find a weapon with crit dmg and a socket, that will boost your damage by a lot, imo 1h xbow is only really viable if you have high crit dmg.
And if you struggle with kiting, consider getting yourself at least 10% speed on boots
On topic, after juggling with a few items I've managed to push over the 100k dps mark, but down to 29k hp, so still need some work to get the right balance
I am using Inna's Favor for the 2set bonus so can't use The Witching Hour :<
I am aiming that 100k mark as well
Currently I can get it if i lower my hp and use a diff helm besides the nat, but obviously I dont want to break the set bonus..
It's so hard to find a budget deal nowadays... and sigh at my luck on drops...
