DW Claw Shadow Build Idea - Leech all of the life

I got an Al Dhih drop in Rampage and almost immediately began thinking of a DW Claw Shadow build for it. Here's what I have so far! Any and all (constructive) input is appreciated :)

Items
Spoiler
MH is a fast, high pDPS claw until L62, then Bloodseeker. OH is Al Dhih.
Endgame chest is Cloak of Defiance. Other than that, high Eva/ES gear.


Skills & Links
Spoiler
Viper Strike + Melee Splash + Curse on Hit + Warlord's Mark
Double Strike + Faster Attacks + Multistrike + Blind
Flicker Strike + Culling Strike + Item Rarity + Item Quantity (When Rampage merges into Standard)
Blood Rage + Increased Duration
Hatred + Herald of Ash + Reduced Mana
Portal + Cast on Death


Offense Theory
Spoiler
I begin combat maintaining Hatred, Herald of Ash, and Blood Rage. I use Viper Strike to apply DoT stacks and Warlord's Mark, stacking the effect if fighting a boss, then use Double Strike to focus down and kill whatever I'm up against. Flicker Strike is for getting back into the fight quickly after running out of range, or for continuing the carnage against a new group.


Defense Theory
Spoiler
I intend this build to run Iron Reflexes, DW Block, some ES for buffer, and maybe Vaal Pact. Whatever damage I take should get leeched back within seconds, unless I get stomped.
