I recommend COH because belive it or not it lets you do more dam than a Fortitude, It also gives the upper edge on resists, which will help you when facing Sorc's or Ubers.
Fortitude's +300% damage doesn't show up on the char screen. Rest assured, though, the damage is much better than COH. Only use COH if you really need the resists.

Weapon: Grief
Personally i think there is no other way to go, the grief offers IAS, +Damadge, ignores targets defense, overall a great sword for a smiter and can also be used as a zeal or charge weapon when in tight situations and deal and massive amount of Damadge.
Use Grief for PVP Smiter, Last Wish PB for Uber killer. Last wish adds might, fade (56% resist all 11% DR!!!) and with % tap and 60-70% CB you free up your helm, boots, and gloves.

Other Options: Hoto

Shield: Up'D HOZ
For pvubers, totally agree. For PVP, exile.

(Remainder of points) - Defiance
IMO a better choice is, For PvUbers, put up to 20 into skill lightning resist, for the passive .5 max resist per lvl (only from points put into it, not from + skills gear)
So with 20 points you get 85 max light resists, which comes in REALLY handy in tristram.

The + to damage on a grief makes it by far the most attractive weapon to use.
It's not plus to magical, or plus to cold/lite/fire ect, it's a pure plus to damage. Excellent for both pvp and pvm.
It also adds "Prevent monster heal" and adds monster ias (esp if in a phase blade)
I'm not sure where you were going with this, but yeah, this is by far the best weap to use.
With lvl 20 fanat, a LW PB hits the fastest breakpoint with only 10 more ias anywhere on your gear.
Prevent monster heal doesn't work on ubers, only bleeding wounds keeps them from healing.
