There are two ways to not to die against monsters: Kill them before they hit you, and do not let them hit you. Sadly enough, 1.10 left most 2-hand weapons useless for most melee chars due to the improved monsters that don't die that easily and often drop the red ball long before you kill one.
Fury is as good as zeal for crowd control ;) , no wonder you don't see many 2-hand weapons on zealots. Forget the damage because you won't be able to kill them before they land some dozen hits on your puppy; get a good shield (faster and increased block, resists) and a pretty fast weapon (like bstar) and try to reach 4 FPS with it. You'll kill way faster and without worries about your puppy's health.
