This means you need to find quite a lot of enemies or be playing in multiplayer games, which I don't do a lot of.
The build scaling is quite insane. After purchasing 2 weapons (i think they were ~1 mil and 500k) and I got a decent helm drop, I just faceroll Act I. I thought my wizard facerolled Act I, but this guy is ludicrous. I literally ignore everything. If I come across a champ pack, I ignore molten, arcane beams, etc... and just WW through the middle of them for 10 seconds and they're dead. If I pop berserker, they last 4.
Modifiers on weapons are more important than base damage, especially on the off-hand. Take a 300 DPS dagger off hand that has 80% crit damage, socket, and a few hundred LoH and you'll do better than a raw 900 DPS off-hand. Enough combined LoH, armor, resist, vit and lifesteal combined with crit are what makes the build insane. Damage on weapons seems quite a secondary consideration.
You do need to spend the fury go power Thrive on Chaos. Fortunately spending it is easy enough - you can just spam shout and whirlwind all the time. I found that most of Act 1 and parts of Act 2 don't have the monster density to support Thrive on Chaos. I haven't tried whirlwinding through Act 3 yet, but I can imagine it easily has enough monsters.
The tornado damage is purely based on the main hand weapon. So ideally you want a slow, high dps main, with a fast offhand with LoH and crit.
