LvL 9 Dueler

[Taem]

I thought it might be fun to build a level 9 dueler. Here is my plan and what I have to work with.

20 Skill points (8 from level up, 6 fron Izual, 3 From Radaments Lair, and 3 from the Den of Evil)

55 Stat Points (40 from Level up, 15 from Lam Esens tome)

I plan to put 4 points into multishot, 1 into magic arrow, and the rest into Dodge and Critical Strike.

Here are my questions...

1.) How should I split the points between Dodge and Crit Srtike?

2.) I forsee mana problems and need advice here.  Mana steel is probably to high level requirements and plus xx mana after each kill won't work for dueling.  Either way my Damage will probably be too low to leech enough anyway. Are there any low level items that add a substantial amount of mana and are usefull for this character?

3.) Is it worthwhile to pump Dex a bit or should I go for the minimum Dex possible to get more life?

4.) Does anyone have any equipment suggestions.  I have 2 good plans,  but NO ideas for jewelry and I probably will just add charms as they become available instead of looking for specific ones.

Here are 2 possibilities:

Full Arctic set(Flawed topaz in bow, Flawed ruby in armour), Biggin's Bonnet(Flawed ruby), Gorefoot

or

Death's Glove and Sash, Biggin's Bonnet(flawed ruby), Gorefoot, Greyform(Flawed ruby), Arctic Horn (Flawed sapphire)

Both have their advantages and dissadvantages.

Here are the things they are equal at:

Both give "Cannot be Frozen"
Both add 15 to mana
Both add 20% to Attack Rating
Both have 2% mana Stolen
Both have 20% Fast run/walk
Both have ATD of 2

Here are the differences:
Arctic has better Cold resist (75% vs. 35%)
Death's is better fire resist(35% vs. 10%)
Death's is better lightning resist(15% vs. 10%)
Death's is much better poison res (50% vs. 10%) and has Poison length       -------reduced by 75%
Death's gives an 11 frame atack vs. 12 frames with arctic
With minimum dex and str, Arctic will give + 159 to life while Death's gives     -------109
Arctic adds more AR (152 vs. 30)
Arctic getc a damage upper with cold damage of 26-44 vs. 3-5 and lightning  -------damage of 1-14 vs. 0
Death's gives 13% life steal vs. 0 with arctic
Death's adds Magic Damage reduced by 3


I can't decide.  Perhaps keeping both on hand would be best?

EDIT: Major changes to whole thing

Hail Albion Child,

I also have a 9th level low-level dueler in mind and was looking for suggestions. Keep in mind that these statistics are based on the maximums possible in regards to defense and +damage. This is not a realistic attempt at setting up a low level dueler, unless you have easy access to this type of gear. I made it more as a proof of concept of what I would like to eventually acquire for my low-level dueler. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Barbarian:
Skill Points: 20 = 12 points from quests; 8 points from levels
Stat Points: 60 = 45 from levels; 15 from quests
+Life: +60 from quests
Resists: +30% from quests

Barbarian starts at 20 Dexterity. He requires 90 for 75% block with a tower shield! 70 MORE dexterity!
Barbarians start at 30 Strength. He requires 75 for Tower Shield. 45 MORE strength!
Barbarians start at 25 Vitality and 55 life. They get +2 life each level up and +4 life for each Vitality.
+45 statistic points into Strength first to equip items; +15 statistic points into Dexterity; still need 55 Dex.

Crunched Statistics:
Total Life: 133
Block: 75%
IAS: +30% (12 FPS)
Defense: 911 (Average 15-25% chance to hit me)
Attack Rate: 1708 (Average 80-90% chance to hit)
Damage: 136-218 x 2; (well, 17% Critical Strike)
PvP Damage: 34-54 x 2; (well, 17% Critical Strike)
Life Steal: 22%
Fire Resist: 40%
Light Resist: 70%
Cold Resist: 80%
Poison Resist: 90%

Skills:
Warcries: Shout (2) (+1 = 120% Defense)
Passive: Mastery (9) (+1 = +73% Damage, +100% Attack Rate)
Combat: Bash (9) (+1 = +10 Damage, +95% Damage, +65% Attack Rate)

Items:
Death’s Touch War Sword: (+20% ED) 10-25 Damage: 4% Life Steal; +25-75 Cold Damage
Death’s Guard Sash: 22 Defense: Cannot be Frozen; +15% Resist All
Death’s Hand Gloves: 3 Defense: Poison Length –75%, +50% Poison; +30% IAS
Set Bonus: 8% Life Steal; 40% Attack Rate, +25% Resist All, +10 MIN damage
Sigons Boots: 15 Defense: Faster Run, 40% Cold; +50 Attack Rate
Sigons Helmet: (+4 Dexterity Gem) 60 Defense: +2 Attack Rate per clvl
Sigons Armor: (+4 Dexterity Gem) 168 Defense: Light 30%; Attacker damage of 20
Sigons Shield: (+20% ED) 24 Defense: +20 Block, +1 Skill Levels
Set Bonus: 10% Life Steal; +100 Defense
Magical Ring: Prefix: Steel (+60 Attack Rate); Suffix: Dexterity (+3 Dexterity)
Magical Ring: Prefix: Steel (+60 Attack Rate); Suffix: Dexterity (+3 Dexterity)
Magical Amulet: Prefix: Bronze (+20 Attack Rate); Suffix: Dexterity (+3 Dexterity)
Charms: 10 Grand Charms of +4 Dexterity and elemental damage,
10 Small charms of Blight (+9 Poison Damage)

Problems:
Low life: I could substitute the 10 small charms of blight for +1 strength or dexterity ones allowing me to put 10 into vitality, but, ill loose a 30 poison damage at the cost of +40 life.
Bad hit recovery: 5 FPS! I’ll be stun locked for 1/5th of a second. Could be bad against smiter!
Suggestions: Berserkers Hauberk Splint Mail 95 Defense and Berserkers Headgear Helm 33 Defense. I keep the +2 Attack Rate per clvl, but loose light 30%, attacker takes damage of 20, and 173 defense, but gain 25% fire, +1 skill levels, +50 life, and +3 Defense per level! All in all with the +1 skill and everything, I’ll have a +10% to be hit but a +1 Minimum and Maximum PvP damage.
