For 2 handed weapons, I would recommend a Tempest Rush build:
Passives:
Fleet Footed/One with Everything
Exalted Soul (1 spirit/sec and 100 extra spirit)
Guardian's Path
Skills:
Fist of Thunder: thunderclap with high IAS / quickening if not (Fastest spirit regeneration)
Sweeping Winds: Cyclone (Still the best source of damage)
Tempest Rush: 25% move (forgot name)
Seven-Sided Strike: any (It now does stupidly awesome damage with a 2-hander... if you have life steal, one cast should replenish all your HP... arguably better than serenity)
Serenity (Just in case)
OR
The bell drop (like 7-sided, it now does stupidly good damage)
Gear: (This is the hard part)
Your priorities are Spirit Regeneration, Life Steal, and Crit %. Also, whatever defensive stats you need to feel comfortable while farming.
Spirit Regeneration comes only on a few items, so your gear is not that flexible. This needed because 2-handers have low attack speed, which equates to low spirit regeneration
Spirit Regen can be found on: Daibos, Stone of Jordan (both legacy and current), Xeph---??? amulet, Frostburns (legacy), Hellcat waistguard (legacy), Spirit Stones, Inna's set bonus, Templar's skill
Recommended setup:
Inna's 4-piece set with a radiance that has 2+ regen (use the 4 armor pieces, not the daibo)
Stone of Jordan with 2+ regen (and a bonus to either thunderclap, sweeping winds or tempest rush)
Skorn (for dps and lifesteal)
Unfortunately, this is gonna cost you a small fortune because 2-hand builds need a lot of gear to counter spirit and defensive losses...
My suggestion would be close to yours but with few changes:
Passives:
One With Everything
Seize the Initiative
Exalted Soul
Useable skills:
Fists of Thunder - Thunderclap
Tempest Rush - Tailwind
Mantra of Conviction - Overawe
Breath of Heaven - Blazing Wrath
Sweeping Wind - Inner Storm
Serenity - Ascension
In useable skills Serenity, Mantra of Conviction and Breath of Heaven can be changed to something else. I would suggest you to use Inner Storm as your rune in Sweeping Wind, because you'll be able to keep 3 stacks going on all the time and get 3spirit/sec. With 4 pieces of Inna your Sweeping Wind will cost 5 spirit, and you can refresh Sweeping Wind's 6sec on going effect by activating it again. So you'll get 3 spirit/sec for 6 seconds, and you just refresh it for 5 mana for very fast spirit regeneration.
I myself haven't tested SSS yet, but I might just go and try it out immediately. I would also recommend using Life Steal, Crit% but would also like to say how important improved attack speed can be in this build. I don't have the money to try out myself, but I would imagine Fists of Thunder killing enemies even faster with better aspd. I myself have to disagree with adding spirit regeneration from items. Get good Skorn, 4 pieces of Inna and that's pretty much it. I'm running inferno A3 MP0 runs really fast with exp rings on me and my follower for faster paragon levels. Hopefully this was helpful to someone or gave some new ideas. :)
