@CowInvader:
To clarify my notation:
As you know, after slvl 4, one single Fury attack consists of 5 individual swings. The first swing is at the same speed as the Werewolf's normal attack; the next four are at a separate Fury attack speed. Therefore, when I said "6/4 Fury", I was trying to convey the point that the first swing will last for 6 frames, and the next four swings will each take 4 frames to complete. Hope that makes sense.
Those are fine IAS jewels, but feel free to wait until you can actually use it to socket it, just in case something better comes along. :)
You definitely shouldn't need a point in Solar Creeper. A point in Carrion Vine would probably come in handy, though. It's quite helpful against Skeleton packs and PI groups, since you won't be able to leech back life.
BStar + Tiamat's is the standard PI solution. Gimmershreds are also great. Of course, these are uncommon items; in a pinch, high Elemental damage Wands can be purchased from any of the Hell wand vendors; Lightning and Fire are good flavors to go for. I think that the ones with blue feathers have the fastest base speed.
Definitely use Feral Rage. It doesn't require a huge point investment (I usually go for 10, but you can probably cut back if you're running low), but should be used at all times. There's simply no reason not to. As adeyke said, the Life Leech and R/W bonus will carry over as long as the orb is circling around you; it's on a 20 second timer since the last Feral Rage hit, so just be sure to refresh it every 15 seconds or so before switching back to Fury.
I haven't played 1.10 all that much, so I can't give much help on the item choices. :)
Min Str & Dex seems to be the strategy that most people take, so you should be good there.
