HoW sounds interesting, but i don't know how good is going to be with a plain phase blade and a build based entirely of fire damage. I'm no expert in druids, but isn't it HoW a boost to the physical damage? I thought about investing in summons too, but i quickly changed my mind (even before i started the wt), i want more skill points in Fireclaws synergies... i might regret that decision later, but that's part of the fun.
It's true, the HoW would mainly be helping your merc. But in Hell there are a lot of FI. I also see that you don't like to grind a lot. So it could be possible that your merc will be handling FIs very very slowly which could be frustrating. I was just figuring - you really don't need the life due to Shockwave + Lycan bonus, so Oak could potentially be seen as nothing but wasted points, whereas HoW at least gives you and merc more AR, and buffs your only FI solution (merc dmg). I'm no druid expert either however, these are just some thoughts

I'm interested to see how it will go, whichever way you choose!
