Conviction+Vengeance is definitely better than Fanat+Vengeance from a pure damage/time standpoint. However using fanaticism definitely has its upshot namely leech and speed. Leech is self explanatory, and speed is very useful to prevent being constantly interrupted when facing a crowd of monsters (or even a small group). It also helps in keeping monsters in stunlock.
I've run the numbers and fanat + vengeance + one synergy does comparable damage/time as fanat + zeal + sacrifice maxed with the advantage that you can damage every monster in the game (the disadvantage being the mana cost, but that is relatively easy to handle with moderate leech, pots, and meditation or redemption).
