Should I start by replacing my weak spots in Armor (face, cloak, belt) ? No, same idea, minor upgrades for little to no impact.
Should I swap out the SCHW with an FBSS (in lieu of using my fists) ? After you get epic then you will need another haste item at waist/back slot.
What level will I start using fists? (Epic 50+) Not sure what the question means. You will switch to fist after you get epic , 2h comes handy only when you solo tank so you take less damage, but it isn't day and night difference.
Will an IFS take me to 60? Yes, but staff of battle can do it.
Fungi + epic + haste will make you on par with most monks. I'd save the plat for these big ticket items.

Thank you sir. I appreciated the very candid, straight forward advice. I'm sitting in EC tunnels right now with 4.3k and was wondering about a PB or an IFS. I didn't pull the trigger last night, because I was truly wondering, "is it that huge of a DPS increase over staff of battle to warrant the expense"... - knowing I could always sell later. Perhaps I'll just continue to save, and be ready to swap out for the FBSS around 50. Fungi seems a long ways off... but Haste / Epic / SoS should be in the wheelhouse by then,...
