99/174 ele druid - worth it?

Does it worth this 174 fhr? I must sacrifice a lot of stats/res to achieve it. If anyone have tryed it please share your oppinion. I play in public duels so i try go with one setup and chage items only for special cases, but this 174 fhr cuts down absorb for example. Sure it will make some diferenece but does it worth it?

Some windys i've seen use
Spirit sword(35fcr/55fhr)
Spirit shield (35fcr/55fhr)
Arach(20fcr)
2druid/10fcr/resist/stats/life amulet(10fcr) hits 99fcr bp.
Druid pelt with 10fhr, socketed with shael (30fhr)
Treks/rare boots (20fhr)
Bloodfist(30fhr) hits 174fhr bp with good mods.
bk rings.

Will be gaining quite alot of life, 40 from gloves, +22vital each from spirit, treks and pelt too maybe

You may be lacking resist but cyclone armor doesn't count in resist when element hits. But, just in case you may have to swap spirit sword for hoto/wizardspike and use fhr skillers.

I was a little upset to read that the health increased by vitality item mods, as well as vitality gained per level item mods, and life gained per level item mods, do not actually get increased by lycanthropy, OS, or BO. I unfortunatly don't know much about elemntal druids to tell you if it's worth it. I don't even know if +% life even matters much to an elemental druid.

It will be block druid so spirit monarch is no no. here setup i think:

bloodfist
spirit sword
2 druid 20 fcr 2 x shael
2 x fcr rings
10 fcr 24 fhr mods belt
14+ fcr amulet
stormshield ber
shadowdancer

so this is total: 179 fhr, all life skillers and scs, also maybe the boots will be some run/fhr/res which will require 1 fhr sc, or waterwalk 2 fhr gc and 1 sc. But all this setup will give up to ~40 all res (if amu is 20 res ^^ and 2 rings x 10 which will cost bilions). With torch ani its 80 all res.. even i have 10 x 20/5 scs which i dont, my resist will sux and i will not be able to use tgod, wisp, hotspur (not that i'm bm or something but in pubs i can play vs foher + fore sorc for example..)

what can be changed in the setup to gain more resist and keep max block/good dr is to use sanctury tower shield together with coa ber ber which will give 50 fhr, 10 more than 2 druid 20fc 2 shael circ and storm and around 100 resist which will help a lot, but remove bloodfist with their 40 life and 30 fhr.. Also in stahs there can be coa vex vex or coa lo lo, even coa gul gul. but all this troubles.. worth it for the 174 fhr?

Yeah, stick with 99 and play defensive against casters and hope they will aggressively chase so you could telestomp alot easier
