For my build, 2 reasons I dropped my SoJ.
I didn't have adequate EHP with SoJ.
I didn't need spirit generation from SoJ. FoT/Quickening is the perfect skill for spirit generation. No gear can replace that.

Blinding flash for snapshot?

Spamming burst damage skill is all you need.

I saw few 1200+ DPS fist weapon with LS + socket on sale at GAH.

Oh... forgot that.

To have a fair playing field, I think you need 200K HP too.

You are using 1 active skill + 1 passive skill for spirit generation.
IMO, it is not really effective because you can free some skill slots for burst damage skill like WoL or passive like NDE & OWE.
(defensive attributes of OWE will help you in coping RD elites).

Try replace FoT/Thunderclap with Quickening.
It should give you enough spirit generation.
With quickening, you should be able to spam your 1xWoL or 2xCyclone Strike every second.

But you need to get used to skill like FoT/Quickening as you don't teleport anymore.
As you use Cyclone Strike, you don't need to "stick" to the mobs since you pull the mobs to you.
Moreover, you're using Dashing Strike, you don't need teleport from FoT/Thunderclap.

WoL & Cyclone Strike combo is awesome.

For gears, instead of swapping your EF to SS, you might as well get an EF with LS.
You need additional LS at current state. You may probably drop LS when you hit 400K DPS (like invis, perhaps).
Using SS means you sacrifice a lot of DPS, imo, which is inefficient and unnecessary.

D3up shows 300K DPS too.

Both thunderclap and quickening are lightning based skills.
Both will benefit from WKL's lightning damage bonus.
You have pretty high crit chance. Quickening will give you lots of spirit through crit chance.

P/S
3% LS is certainly doable. You just need to kite a bit in some circumstances.

Doable for sure, especially you go with the bell.

It depends on your defensive attributes like AR/Armor/melee attack damage mitigation/e damage mitigation etc.
Try land the bell on a group of mobs, mix of white mobs and RD elites. That should be safe.

Bold part, you don't teleport anymore?

Congrats!

Damage doesn't come from FoT/Quickening.
Real damage comes from the bell and cyclone strike combo.
1-2m+/hit per target from cyclone strike
3-5m+/hit per target from WoL.

Quickening is used solely for spirit generation.

Yeap, play style will be very different, especially when you accustom to FoT/Thunderclap.

It took me quite a while to get used to Quickening. I got so frustrated chasing the mobs with Quickening.
Then one day I realized i didn't actually need to chase them. I pulled them in instead with Cyclone Strike.

Just use any play style that suits you.

You've got good EHP.
Time to buff your DPS to a new level.

I believe FoT/Quickening alone should give you enough spirit for spamming your WoL & CS.
So, you may drop passive/Exalted Soul.
Replace it with passive/combination strike.

Drop dashing strike and use deadly reach/foresight.

Passive/combination strike + deadly reach/foresight will give you 34% DPS buff (before MoC).
With the DPS buff, all of your skills will get a huge boost.

As fe3doe and gladly said, a skorn can only replace by a better skorn.

If you opt for skorn, buy the best skorn you can afford. Do it once and for all.

Bleeding damage on skorn is very good.

2 incidents I can share.

1)
Tested on WD.
12K bleed but -6K paper DPS VS 8.5K bleed but +6K paper DPS.
12K bleed won by 3-5 seconds @ Ghom MP10 test.
Tested more than 20 runs.
I sold the lower bleed skorn eventually.

2)
When we first ran MP10 uber, MOBAjobg facetanked Siegebreaker with skorn. The other 3 players went after Kulle.
Moba always killed Siegebreaker 1st.
If my memory serves me right, all 4 players have the paper DPS of 150-180K.

Probably yes @ Ghom if you can spam bells continuously.

But no in normal game play because bell will knock back mobs and blue elites.

Yes, DE farming, go Ghom.
