60% IAS - Of Quickness weapon with a Shael. At worst, I sacrifice maybe 20 base damage for this.
110% IAS - Of Quickness with 2x Shaels + 2 sigon items, or less IAS on weapon and Twitchthroe.
Not that I think getting these items will be easy while I'm still playing the beta (trading not an option I mean), but they're far from impossible to collect.
As for damage, with +6 to Vengeance (maybe a rosebranded amulet or a +skills scepter), 150 STR, maxed Resist auras, Conviction, and calculating for, on average, one immunity (100%) per monster, my total damage bonus will be [b](106 + 300) * 2 * 2 + (106 + 300) * 1.5 + 150 = 2383%. With that damage bonus, the base weapon damage would have to be 169.15 to reach 4200 total average damage. For a Caduceus that means at least 323% ED. Yep, getting such a weapon will be tough, though not impossible I think.
About attack order, I've always thought it's better to fight one enemy at full life than two enemies at half life, so I mostly try to get rid of one enemy as soon as possible so he can't bother me when I'm fighting the rest. Never tried your approach, though I can see it being less effective in v1.10 when monsters regenerate so quickly. You hit an enemy and then leave him alone to hit another enemy, the first one will be back to full health once you're ready to hit him again. As for keeping enemies chilled, HF Mercs and items that release Frost Novas when hit have always been my favourites.

In my mind, my dreams are real. No one's concerned about the way I feel.
