1)A Colossus sword does more damage per hit, but it hit slower. A Colossus Blade does less damage, but faster. Which one is better depends on how much IAS (increased attack speed, found on things like a weapon of haste) and ED (enhanced damage, found on things like cruel) you have.
2) Act 4 or 5 Hell difficulty, or the cow level.
3) It always gives 3 sockets.
4) You can get a Colossus Blade with 6 sockets, but it depends on the monster that drops it. Magic items cannot get 6 sockets.
5) Ith is not a runeword. Ith is a hacked item. Do not use ith. Silence is powerful, but it requires high level runes, Ist and Vex (is Dol high level?).
6) Crushing blow takes of 25% of a monsters remaining hit points, and physical resists effect it, so you can't use it on physical immunes. Deadly Strike is the chance to double your damage. It is the same as critical strike. If your deadly strike works, critical strike cannot, and vice versa. If you have a 50% chance of deadly strike, and a 50% critical strike, It would check one of them, and if it doesn't work, it checks the other, giving you a 75% chance of doing double damage.
7/8) Jah doesn't work on Bosses, super uniques, uniques, or champions/possessed/ect. Also, on normal monsters, you still have to take into account their level vs. your level, which is usually more important, anyway. In the current version (1.09) the "Eth" rune is bugged in that makes it so their defense is negative, works on bosses/champions/ect. causing you to hit 95% (max) of the time. It will (hopefully) be fixed when 1.10 comes around. And, yes, you would have 100% chance (unless there is a cap I don't know about).
9) The Arreat Summit Ith is not a runeword, it is a hacked item. That has all runewords on it that are in the current version, and in 1.10 beta.
