There are actually a couple of build options to consider if spirit eventually becomes an issue.
1: Swap out Blade Storm for Inner Storm. I feel like I'll miss the extra 15% weapon damage on it, but the spirit gain could be worth it.
2: Swap out Thunderclap for Quickening and Seven-Sided Strike for Dashing Strike: Quicksilver (or possibly Blinding Speed depending on how the cost feels). You lose the teleport from Thunderclap which hurts, but you sort of gain it back with Dashing Strike.
3: Put Thunderclap on the mouse button and swap out Seven-Sided Strike for Earth Ally. Gains you 10% max life which could help survive situations longer and he taunts which might give you more time to gain spirit without needing cooldowns.
4: Put Thunderclap on the mouse button and swap out Seven-Sided Strike for Inner Sanctuary: Circle of Protection. Not obviously a spirit gain, but having another cooldown could make you have to pop mantra less and thus give you more time to gain spirit.
5: Put Thunderclap on the mouse button and swap out Seven-Sided Strike for Air Ally and see how his 2% spirit gain feels.
I think those are even listed in order of the ones I have the best feeling about to the ones I have the worst feeling about. I'm still mostly hopeful not to need to do any of them, but that will be hard to tell till I'm in Hell. The gain from dual wield Thunderclap seems pretty decent so far.
