I mean, you can reach 10 FPA with swing (i assume that's for both attacks), but since you'll only have 1 dreadfang, that's actually 10 FPA per Amp attempt.
Other regular 1H attacks can reach 9 FPA, which is slightly better, not to mention you'll get locked in place a little less.

Concentrate is the obvious choice then.

I'm not sure if they removed the blocking animation when D2R came out (when an attack was initiated), but if yes, there could be an alternative to wizzy, but it would require a little bit more FCR elsewhere.
It's a well known runeword, that start with an S =]
(Or maybe i'm 100% mistaken and it was another animation type that they patched that way.)

A bit more fcr elsewhere could be replaced with 2 x dreadfang then :D That was my initial question, 20fcr helmet with the new jewel or chamed gulli? You could just go with spirit instead of stormshield. Concentrate behaves like D/A/E from ama now. The animation of blocking or doding doesn't interrupt the attack.

EDIT: Horazon boots with the new jewel in gulli is also possible but you need to use highlord's then.

Spirit is what i was referring to =]
But yeah, i guess the idea is to get enough FCR on off-hand to spare other slots.
And if that was me, i would even go gulli + new jewel, mostly because the 20% less corpses to hork from raven isn't a big deal for me, but that's definitely personal.
EDIT: Yes, or horazon, at the cost of gores of course.
