More act 4 monsters would make sense as added ones in the act 5 lava dungeons.
The problem with synergies from items is that skills that have a lot of synergies would get a lot of damage from +tree skills, which could especially make one or two tree sorceresses and some paladins too powerful. Think a blizzard sorc with +1 cold skills getting 15% extra damage multiplied with some -resist on cold mastery multiplied by the damage increase for blizzard. Or think an avenger with +to defensive auras getting 12% extra damage for each element per level, compared to 3.33 or 2% extra average damage for the elements from putting 1 actual skill point in. (the 3.33 comes from averaging the 10% damage bonus over all elements.)
