Well, let's see...
If you are just concerned about advocates, you should remember that they have 0 AC; even with the hell mode AC bonus you will not need any gold item to hit them with every swing. So, assuming you are in it to pump damage, you'll be going for strength boosting items.
+30x3 from titans jewelry,
+20x2 from giants on armor/helm
-5 from Blood Slayer (4-12 + 100% dmg)
Level 50 warrior damamge = str*clvl/100 + weapon damage, therefore (250+30+30+30+20+20-5)*50/100 + (8 to 24) = 195.5 to 211.5. With x3 damage to demons, that puts you at 586.5 to 634.5, which is enough to kill Hell Advocates in a single swing 95% of the time (because you auto-miss 5%, of course). Just so you are aware, at level 49 with the same stats you'll only be doing 192 minimum base damage, just below the threshold to kill in a single swing. At level 45: 177 to 193 - never enough to kill in a single swing. If you really REALLY want to one-hit-KO advos in hell with your level 50 warrior, however, I would recommend dragons/titans jewelry and obsidian/giants armor and helm. At least then you will have workable mana and max resistances. I couldn't imagine why you would ever want to though. If one hit kills are your thing, pick up a copy of hellfire and play a barbarian/bard.
