Is this ladder or single player?
If so, an upgraded ribcracker might be a good end game weapon to shoot for. The physical damage on it is second to very few runewords/uniques and the mods are very hard to beat. Also the low requirements would allow for more points in vit(which you probably need dearly). The only drawback to an upgraded ribcracker is not bonus to AR, or ITD. You need a significant alternate source of AR to hit with it in hell.
As for right now, I'd stick with the ribcracker. The extra speed will allow you to apply the 50% crushing blow more often, and may make up for the loss of damage by applying the CB more often. I'd think the FHR and defense would help you significantly considering your vulnerability in being a 2 handed melee assassin. Also, with chargeups, the damage on ribcracker should be plenty for lvling in normal, it only slows down around act4 NM, and when upgraded around act4 hell.
