Culling vs Poison

I found my very first 6 link in the wild yesterday and it was my favorite chest: Majestic Plate.

I now have another green socket to fill and I added culling strike. From play, it seems that culling strike has contributed to killing things faster.

I am thinking, though, that since I use bleeding with these guys:

Maybe poison support would be better. At the moment I am leveling up a poison gem separately. When it gets up to level 12 or so, I will swap it with culling to see how it plays.

I'd some experienced opinions on culling vs poison and any suggestions on better ways to fill out my fancy new 6 Link. I use Cleave as my main attack with Hatred as my aura. My dps is 42,000+ with Hatred in my HO, and passes 60,000 when blood rage and my Ancestral warchief kick in.

Which, poison or culling be better for bosses? Do higher level bosses bleed? Can they be culled?

Should I change a green socket to blue and use Concentrated effect/increased AOE?

Thanks.

Inc aoe/ conc effect will always be the go to option for cleave in any setup because of the aoe/50%more double dip dmg. Neither poison nor culling strike is on par with conc effect gem in term of dmg and inc aoe is just a nice clear speed buff.

Cleave + multi strike + faster atk + melee phys + aoe/conc + added fire/weapon elemental dmg.

You know that is not what I wanted to hear. [sigh] ;)

CE does add about 14,000 dps. But I like the idea behind both culling strike and poison with my bleed. Oh well, I guess I will go back to a blue socket.

What is the best way to improve the mods on my chest? I want to keep the 100 life.

You can mastercraft something to your chest but I personally would just slam some chaos since hitting a t1 life mod is not so hard. Your chest rightnow has quite minimal stats and you at least wants 100+ life, duo res 30+ and 1k or more armor. But I dont fully know your build so I cant help you further.

Thanks. It's a melee build that is public (Banjo_Dancer)

My worry about chaosing is that I will lose the life. I am not very rich and have less than 30 chaos atm. My weapons took most of my surplus and I am rebuilding. I am doing yellow maps and making progress, so changes are not urgent. My masters are at level 5 & 6 and moving ahead day by day.
