I can vouch that this build is extremely fun and works well for lesser geared players.
To test the build I used two weapons I had sitting in my bank: an Echoing Fury with 1k dps and DEX and no socket, and a pretty nice 1k Sever with STR and socket. I had 110k sheet dps with my old weapon (Skorn) and build (Slam/Rumble). With the new Smash/HOTA build and DEX Echoing Fury, my sheet dps drops to 86k but I can plow through Alk's Run at MP0 faster than before... And it is much more enjoyable! with better weapons and an SoJ I can see that this will be beastly.
I think the Sever I have is good for this build on non-über mobs. Every once in a while Sever procs on the killing blow on demons and does crazy damage (like 1+M). 9% of this massively over-heals me.
I will link in my profile so people can see my gear once Blizzard's servers let me log in.
