I'm not sure what others would recommend, but I'd never do that skill setup.
20 Multishot/LF shows you want to use bows AND javelins a lot. well, to really use Lightning fury you'd need maxed Pierce (or 66% with razortail).
Lookie here for 2 options:
1. Pure LF zon. str/dex for equipment, rest to vit. I got about 1600hp with charms on my javazon.
2. Pure bowazon. you said you like high damage and also fast firing...hum, that's basically calls for a WF.
Other options:
Goldstrike Arch Coupled with Atma's Scarab. Goldstrike's Holy bolts (from FOH) each have a chance to cast the amp. Me and a friend used this setup from early in xpac and you can rival eaglezons in terms of killing power. Also, this is CHEAP. you can trade a fingernail for both.
Eaglehorn - some prefer this bow for general amazon use. I find it a bit slow for some reason. Eaglehorn is a solid choice with decent requirements, good damage, *ITD* and...thats it.
M'avina's Caster - you won't see many people use this bow for the simple fact that better bows exist. decent damage and 40% IAS make it quite a nice bow but if you're willing to spend just a bit more you can get something better.
Lycander's Aim - If you can find a 200% one, this is a really nice bow. excellent minimum damage, relatively fast, skills, stats, leech, cheap. Maximum is quite low but meh, not all of us either care or have enough $$ for a WF.
Cruel Matriarchal Bow of xxx with enough IAS will give you decent damage with very fast attack. not really recommended for cows, as it is quite expensive to find a good one and you can get better damage with....
Buriza-Do Kyanon which you surely know. this+multi=dead beef.
For The pure bowazon you should get an Act 2 Might Merc. get him the best equipment you can. Mine uses a Cruel Great Poleaxe, Shaftstop and a Vampire Gaze. they are not very expensive now. A might merc adds a LOT of damage.
3. Hybrid: no experience with this build really...but here goes - maxed LF and very high pierce. no need to waste points on maxing it, use Razortail to get 100%. Maxed GA and 10-15 Multishot. I'd recommend using Buriza as bow, titan's revenge as javelins.
Other than that I'd ask others to contribute their knowledge. See CorwinBrute's new 1.2 LoD Bowazon guide for plenty of info.
