Bearsin help needed

Well, the search function has failed me and brought up only a couple threads with little info, so don't yell at me.

Anyways, I'm getting pretty bored with pub pk and such and I have this nifty claw that I would like to see used:
Artisan's Greater Talons of Quickness
+40%IAS
+1 Blade Shield
Socketed [3]

With no IAS it will hit 4 fpa, with 1x IAS jewel or shael it hits 3fpa, with 2 shaels and 1 IAS jewel or shael, it hits 2 fpa. I heard 2 fpa is buggy, but I would like to see what it looks like. Has anyone ever tried it? Just how buggy is it? I don't feel like doing any trading for facets or ias/whatever jewels so I will probably just triple shael this for fun. If I find it buggy I might just hel and shaelberber since this will just be for pvm.

I am also wondering what equipment you guys might suggest. Off-hand claw will not affect my attack speed, correct? Here's what I think I will be using:

Artisan's Greater Talons of Quickness (shaelshaelshael or shaelberber)
Whitstan's Guard, Sanctuary Monarch/Troll, Jade talon w/ weap block?
Switch: Beast + Spirit
Shako (shael or something cheap) or Guillaume's for super fast CB?
Enigma BP
Trang gloves, maybe dracs for special occasions (aka poison immune).
Gore riders for CB
Arachnid?
Mara's Kaleidoscope
2x Ravenfrost

10x shadow GCs
Low anni
Rest life scs

WWsin claws in stash for poison immunes maybe, although I'm certain CB + SM + Merc should take care of those. PI/PI? Run like hell.

Skills:
20 Claw Mastery
20 Venom
20 Shadow Master
20 Blade Shield (so many leftover skills...)
13 Fade (70 res/86% curse reduction/33%DR after +skill, need more if using Guillaume)

Suggestions, criticisms? I assume I inherit the terrible block rate/hit recovery of a druid in bear form (in which case, I'd lean towards whitstans).
