If ur useast sc nl, i'd like to duel this. For some reason i dont see the smite dmg being that good and u would have to rely on charge + aura dmg like a normal auradin =/
I donated the gear for this char a while ago; if you'd like to duel a char with my gear I can put you in contact with the person who has the gear and a similar character.
As far as the smite damage, the math is pretty simple. It's a smiter with 300 less ed, ergo 1.5k -2k less damage or so (6k vs 7.5k - 8k). That's just the way that I prefer but it's quite simple to max the smite skills first then max resist lightning without salvation. Basically: maxing smite adds 20% physical damage overall, maxing salvation adds 20% elemental damage overall.
So, if you're concerned about smite damage, simply follow a standard sorbing smiter guide and max smite skills followed by maxing resist lightning. Wear your normal smite gear (CoA, HoZ, whatever) and then when you want to use the auras (vs windies, hdins, vita sorcs, etc) put on the dream helm and shield. You will do around 500 avg pulse damage instead of 600 avg pulse dmg.
