You reach max attack speed (9 frames) in regular situation, and 12 frames when decrepified (that happens a lot in Chaos sanctuary and Baal throne).
Fanatism would allow 10 frames when decrepified, with slightly better attack rating and damage + 144%.
Might/Pride mercenary is a brutal boost of ~ 550% damage. Get CoH on him for +2 to might (fortitude is pointless here).
Both have +/-, I think they are equally useful (act 2 mercenary is better to finish off Baal/Diablo themselves, if you feel losing time here).
Notice that 15ias/40ed jewels in both helm and shield would get you at 11 frames when decrepified, without Fanatism, and 9 frames with fanatism.
