I would suggest replacing the wicked axe with a dreamflange and an obsidian/emerald shield. Actually, scratch that. I would strongly suggest doing so. Here's why:
Dreamflange will increase your mana pool by 110. As you know from the article, the more maximum mana you have, the more effective -dfe becomes. Also, with a resistance shield you can max out your resistances, and then use the amulet slot for mana, along the lines of dragons/wizardry. Potentially you can increase your mana by 230 while losing only -5 dfe, which should really increase the usefullness of your other -dfe. Also, an obsidian shield of absorption (-3) is possible and would only lower your total -dfe by two. Even better.
