IMO there's no question that I'll get better speed with fanatacism. The best you can hope for is a 9fps attack (let's face it 110% IAS is not realistic, and 60% IAS without sacrificing something else is pushing it for singleplayer). As for stunlock, there's no way either of our builds is going to do 4200 damage per strike on average to a hell monster, even with an awesome elite weapon (you'd need 2000% ed and a 200 average damage weapon to come close, and AFTER resistances). I'm not going to be playing players 8 in hell, that looks like an exercise in futility to me. Wrt to chill length, focusing on one target at a time is not always the best solution. When facing multiple targets with high HP the best thing to do is to chill them all first and then focus on one. When faced with two or three targets it's best to keep them in perpetual stunlock by alternating attacks between them. Both are made easier with higher speed.
