Dtalon gets +550 AR at level 22 or so, does more attacks in less time (BFury is 5 frame attack, Dtalon is "3" frames with a 7/2 four-kick routine- though the BFury is much easier to get and doesn't rely on any sort of IAS so no chill or any of that), and does more significant physical damage (at least into a2 NM) so it can deal with poison immunes more easily.Can't say I disagree. Dtalon is certainly superior.
Unfortunately once you get to hell there are a lot more things that you don't want to go anywhere near, even under Cloak of Shadows :( Dtalon remains the superior damage/crush dealer but comes at a significant risk.
At least Blade Fury you don't have to step into range of their dimmed vision to damage them. That's it's only advantage.
I'm still looking for a way to deal with PI's in Hell. So far the only thing I can think of is Phoenix Strike + "Crescent Moon".
I'm going to post a request on the Blizzard forum asking for synergies between Mind Blast, Cloak of Shadows and Psychic Hammer. Edit: Scratch that. Neither Mind Blast nor Psychic Hammer do any damage worth synergising.
