Looking for the best javazon build to run cows/diablo/eldritch+shenk as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Thinking something like this:

Griffons (15IAS/15@res jewel)
Maras
Titans
Enigma
Spirit
2/20 Gloves with res
Soj
Razortail
10FCR/mana/res ring
War travs

Infinity Mercenary

20 CS, LF, LS, PS, LB
1, Pierce, Pre-reqs

Where do my excess points go? Any switches in gear?

I like to run two different setups depending on what game content you're doing:

1. General PvM (Multiple Zones)

Helm: 2/20/2os + 2x 15 IAS/3 MAEK Jewels
Ammy: 2/20
Armor: Enigma (Enigma of Wealth has 2 MAEK - my fav. Enigma of Bone fixes up resistances which lets you use more mana SCs)
Weapon: 4/40/Self Rep Maiden Javelins (5 MAEK and Increased Stack Size are the best mods)
Shield: Spirit (Spirit of Phoenix is BiS)
Belt: Razortail (Bugbelt is BiS)
Ring: Stone of Jordan
Ring: Ravenfrost
Gloves: 3/20 or 2/20/3 MAEK
Boots: TriRes (08 boots that have +Strength and over 45 Fire/Lite are best)

89 IAS (95 CS if you use bugbelt) / 68 FCR
Damage is about 5% lower than the Griffon's build on average but with much better Mana and the attack animations feel better - but that's just my own preference.
For Helm and Ammy, you want to have additional stats. Normally Strength would be best but if you want to use the same java for p8 Baals with a switch set, go for life/mana/@resists.

2. p8 Baal Zon

Helm: Griffon's Eye + 5/5 Lightning RBF
Ammy: 2/20/Teleport Charges
Weapon: 6/40 Maiden Javelins
Armor: Jeweler's Archon Plate of the Whale 20/20
Shield: Jeweler's Monarch of the Colossus 20/20
Gloves: 3/20
Belt: Arachnid Mesh
Rings: 2x Stone of Jordan or Bul Kathos' Wedding Band
Boots: Tri-res

This build has the highest CS damage output (one of the other players should teleport to throne for you though).

Inventories:
Torch
Anni
Gheeds (Optional)
Up to 9x 45 Life Java GC
Up to 10x Small Charms - 5@/20 Life // 11Res/20 Life // 17 Mana/20 Life depending on other equipment.

Merc - Infinity Variant:
Option 1: Eth GT Infinity + Eth Treachery SA + Eth Andariel's Visage + 15/40 Jewel
Option 2: Eth CA Infinity + Eth Fortitude SA + Eth Andariel's Visage + 15/30fr Jewel
Option 3: Eth GP Infinity + Eth Fortitude SA + Eth Andariel's Visage + Cham

I read somewhere that a 5/5 light facet is equivalent to +3jav skills on a javazon, can anyone confirm this?

I think what that guy meant was that -Enemy Lite Resistance provides the highest damage boost to Javazons in general (but this depends largely on your gear). As Larry777 has pointed out though, the only place where this consideration is relevant is perhaps choosing between a Spirit Shield and a 20/20 JMoC - the JMoC setup will put out about 15% more damage vs. non immunes and over 20% vs. immunes. at the cost of FCR (mobility).

Also depending on your gear, Charged Strike has breakpoints every 5 levels (35, 40, 45, 50 etc.) where an extra bolt is added for a huge DPS spike.

Made one of these recently. Super fun. Her build can range from 350 up to 650 MF.

I mess around with the following gear:
Griff with 5/5 light (if doing cows, throw on an Isted Shako!)
+2 zon ammy with >20mf some other useful stats (highlords for when you realize the added 24 MF may not be worth it)
MP nigma
War travs
JMOS shield with 4xist
Upped tits
Raven
Prepatch melee ring with high MF and other useful stats
Razortail (if you’re a masochist and want more MF use goldwrap)
Crafted 2/20 gloves with >20MF

CTA and spirit on switch
Inventory
~25x 6mf/5@res
Gheeds
Anni
Torch

Infinity merc with Andy’s and eFort. Chose an AP base so merc can keep up (unless Mercs move speed isn’t slowed by heavy armor?)

Tele is brutal with this build so I cow and shenk with it if just running solo.
It’s a nostalgic build. Old school cow clearing in a minute. Good times.
There was a great guide in PvM section that got me started.

javazons have such high damage output that you can afford to sacrifice some damage for MF if MFing is your goal
for example, maras/highlords can be a rare or crafted ammy with +2 zon skills and %MF, or 20% fcr for the craft
1 ring should be a rare/craft with mf, and as said crafted gloves can have mf
boots war trav as you list
rare diadems could potentially be +2 skills / 20% fcr / 35% mf with 2 sockets, but even a perfect one wouldn't really be better than griffs
and yeah 4x ist shield can work in place of spirit
