Is CI melee viable in 2.0 wihtout OP gear?

Played long Time an CI-IR-US-Crit-Claw Melee Char and it was really tanky. After 2.0 it was nerfed that hard in so much Directions that its not worth playing it even with really "rich" Gear. I used Acuity mainly for Mana sustain and the Life Leech got nerfed to much. With all these defense Mechanics from Tree i had not that much Points to invest in DpS and Crit and ended up with 64k Reave, 7,4k ES, 48% Critchance and 48% Phys Dam negation from Armour.

Gear i used
Spoiler


at least, after 2.0 i changed to Life-Eva-Block-Crit Claw and got so much more Damage, nearly double and the Gems are not all 20/20 now.
Trading DpS with Monsters for Loot will ever best Ratio!-)
Sitting in Town, flipping Items until all Gear is biS,
and get fastly bored from running Maps instead of grinding Upgrades is no Resolution!
