IIRC, you won’t be able to hit max FHR or DR unless you buff via precast - which as several of us have pointed out is BM, but hey if you insist its fine then go for it.
I use dancers mainly for the fhr since I get enough DS from mastery, highlords and UmLo in my claw. If you use gores (which is a must since you don’t have highlords as 102), then you’d have to use 1x fhr GC + 2x fhr sc or give up standard enigma and use EOD. The better option is probably EOD as it gives you the 20% fhr needed to hit 48% BP, but then you lose 5% life and 8% DR. To make up for the missed DR from the ber rune in the enigma runeword, you have to ber your helm.
Now you’re looking at less life, less damage, less AR (no vis), less block, etc. More importantly, since you’re also 102 fcr, you give up the sorb ring swap and without sorb you would get 2-3 shoted by sorcs. Traps would also eat you alive. Don’t tell me you’re going to carry around multiple valks to swap as needed vs elemental opponents.
The standard solution to this would be bugged belt, but since you’re 102 fcr, you can’t use it. All in all 102 is great (as a swap opinion against certain characters like necs), but your “standard build” to which you spec your hard points and skills should be around 65fcr.
PS. Using 2x buff claws in team duels could prove fatal if your barb dies mid fight and the match goes for a while. This happens more than not vs l8z trappers and necros.
Haven't had the problem where bo from baba ran out as ghost in tvt yet, but has happened on many other chars, so i get that one
Well, i have level 50 fade on ghost is np with EoD on ghost.
I use valk 0.8 Lo vs all. I don't care even if blizz 1 shot me, i don't need to win 100% of duels vs blizz, 90% is enought. I catch them in traps before i jump them. I don't wear any abs other than the LO'ed valk. I would love a Valk CHam as well ofc, but it aint needed. (unless fucking orb soso xD, also annoying not to have vs smiters using holy freeze + 35% slow which i think is bm vs assa, but then i just fucking mindblast them into oblivion to be just as lame, and wirl when they try to charge out of it xD

102 *IS* standard build vs sorc, nec and trap. Everything else, not so much. 65 is better.
I prefer 102fcr vs druids, babas, hammers and smiters as well. You control the duel better into your favour then... You never gonna outank a descent BVA forexample anyway, but with time ur mb + ow and the few hits u can sneak in will kill him. But you gotta play pretty lame vs them to win xD
I agree that a 65fcr with wisp and Lo in helm would be more effective vs trappers, but i have only used that once. In EU its bm to abs more than 5% max res on dual claw assa anyway...
However i do stash 1 perf raven, 1 perf wisp, infernoes, 4 x 20/11 cr, old patch 3resi boots. I guess i have used the scs 2-3 times over the years, the stack boots 4-5 times and the infernoes 2-3 times, and the raven i have used like 1-2 times and the wisp aboutly 1-2 times xD Rest have been the standard eq, before i went offshore this time i duelled 2 blizz sosos at once, where 1 of them tryed to bm me, i still diden't bother putting on the stack eq and was able to kill both aboutly 90% of the duels even though one of them was able to 1hit me twice because i dident put up enought stun one time, and the other time because i dident w8 for blizz to clear before i jumped him in it xD
