IFS. I am disappoint.

Worn haste always helps. Til then, you can swap out 1hb and 2hb every other swing to get more hits.

I've got an Efreeti Ice Staff (30/40) on my monk as well as an FBSS. The swing's a bit slow but it out-damages my 1hb (wu's trance stick and SoS) somewhat because I can hit for up to 117 (possibly more). The delay means a lot of misses can screw you over pretty fast when soloing.

You should probably get worn haste and as much STR gear as you can find. The higher STR means you can hit for more, which can make up for the misses somewhat as well.
