Get a Memp w/ CC. Will help dps a bunch

To put the Calamity vs Manticore argument simply, I'll say this in terms of efficiency and preference:

Manticore:

Low MP Strafe build Farming mp0-2 BEST exp per hour/ "arguably" loot per hour -- Low attack speed from Manticore drains a LOT less hatred -- High UNBUFFED DPS
High MP (5+) Spike Trap Build+ Surivability -- Need spike traps to hit hard
Legacy DH Manticore -- Don't rely on attack speed and crit chance passive from Archery for Night Stalker Procs
Manticore -- Hard hitting per hit (which is why it works well with spike trap build as it is not reliant on attack speed for DPS)

Calamity:

Mp3-5 High Efficiency Ball of Lightning build as it does WAY more dps than strafe, however the timed runs and exp are still not as high as a strafe build for mp0-1 (if done correctly) -- Potentially better loot since higher MPs.
Ball of Lighning builds is more conventional and easier to manage than strafe and for these and calamity is best to use with this build
Non-Legacy -- More procs from Night Stalker because of higher attack speed and potential passive if you use it.
High MP Survivability because of NS procs but dps lowered as Kiting will be most likely required

Of course with enough money you can make ANY build work really well, but these are my findings from experience if anyone wants to add/correct something you're welcome. It also seems to ME that a Legacy Nats should be more inclined to use Manticore as opposed to calamity because you don't need some of the advantages that calamity gives you being that you are a Legacy. However, one of my friends whom I play with a lot has a calamity legacy DH build that works perfectly well and with enough pick up radius for the hatred regen from health globes+vengeance he can make the calamity+strafe build work as well (of course you have to make up the "hard hitting" part with great/expensive gear around it). The only questions to be asked here are -- What MP do I like to farm in? Whats more important right now Paragon or Loot? Is it efficient? and most importantly DO I LIKE IT?

what should i be looking for next?

and also, what build do you use for the higher mps

What would be the cheapest upgrade? Gems? Gloves perhaps? This guy can run through higher mps (8-10) already but he must be BETTER!

Definitely without a doubt your bracers. I punched in 4 crit chance and it gave you nearly an 8k dps boost. 6 CC would put you over a 10k DPS boost.

this

You really needa bit higher All Res Base, choose which one of you inna's pieces you want to go for ALL RES instead of vit and your EHP should geta good increase need to hit 350 AR mark without Perfectionist. You are going to sacrifice a bit of dps but thats okay you can't dps if you're dying a lot next I'd say is get a heavy stat DML get that VIT as high as your DEX, hard to find if you are looking for a specific skill but easy if you don't care and cheap then get that Dex up on your Vile Ward to around 240+ and vit 70+ (the loss is made up but the much higher vit in your DML).

For higher MPs I go -- http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#bQgkdR!cfZ!YaYcbb

This is the latest thing I like to use as I prefer the 15% cull the weak over the Archery Bonus b/c it does really well with the Entangling+Hatred Regen Rune most of your survivability comes from spamming spike traps+shadow power because of the massive life steal you are getting from the dmg from spike traps one tick shud get you to full hp from close to nothing -- I know it doesn't really work as well AOE as Bola but thats what Marked for death/aoe is for . You can also go Bola Shot volatile/imminent rune and Get archery drop Cull the weak. If you want to go entangling you can also get away with cull the weak+perfectionist+ archery (no tactical so this could be for grouping in key hunting and such not best for solo play ubering as well -- Archery+Cull+ steady if you can stay far). No room for steady in other types because you are going to have to face tank most things with spike trap and turret.

Not really sure where to post this as I'm putting together a written guide for these forums, but here's a peek at my Strafer build with gameplay for doing Alkaizer runs.
