Just a few quick points. A CC will appear very rarely in hell as if a unique mace is dropped it will probably be a dreamflange - not that you would mind. If you get to hell/hell and still don't have a CC I'd recommend a few normal difficulty butcher runs. King's sword's of slaughter can only be found at Wirt and the best ones even he can't sell (price limit), so don't hold your breath on that. If you see a king's sword of haste or speed at Griz you should probably buy it. When all is said and done, despite the fact that CCs are very plebian, they will almost certainly deal more damage per shot/time than any other one handed weapon.
Regarding inventory, I would recommend when you have collected a good number of things you want to keep, but don't plan on using anytime soon, that you backup your character (http://www.lurkerlounge.com/content/view/750/109/ - it's a good idea to do this anyway), go to battlenet, find someone who will hold a game for you, make a regular difficulty game, drop all the stuff you want to save, quit the game, create a new character (I recommend a warrior because of his starting Str), join the game and pick up your stuff. These characters are commonly referred to as mules for obvious reasons. This will free up your inventory on your main character. If for some reason you can't join the game after you dropped your stuff, you will still have the character backed up.
