At LEAST 2%, or more, if you aren't using Soul Taker.

You don't need mana leech at all then. With Soul Taker 'Insufficient Mana doesn't prevent your Melee Attacks', the only use of mana in this build is your Aura.

But if i understood clearly, i also need mana for using gem "cast when damage taken" so is 1% leach enough for it and all gems connecting with it.

Got 2.4k hp and 6k dps with hatred and 70 all res am i lacking something for lvl 67

i don't think CoDT needs mana, I have 3 auras running and only 6 mana not reserved, it do cast Enduring Cry/Molten Shell/Enfeeble nicely :]

Is Resolute Technique that important to get ? I get a 87% chance to hit, and if I can't deal critical strikes I lose dps.

Hp. Period. I was at lv60 with at least 3.5k hp, 5k dps cyclone tho.

RT is good but if you think 87%chance is high enough then you may not need RT, it's up to your preference.
Keep these in mind tho, not missing means you can maintain life leech all the time, do you have enough crit chance to proc/or even crit multiplier, and how many points/damages you lose to gain that hit chance. Is it worth it or just (omfg forgot everything I mentioned and) spend a point into RT(And ofc grab some useful passive along the way).

With 7+ attacks per second and if you can't get a Soul Taker ( even the new one is being sold for a bunch of exalted ), are we forced to run at least a blood magic gem with our main attack?

Mana leech recovery is not fast enough to keep your pool up ( at 40 mana cost is 280/sec ).

Anyone may please confirm if increasing the dps significantly is enough to maintain dual strike spam? I mean 10k-15k+.
