Boxazon Dex Question

Can some of you who have experience with bowazons tell me is it worth trying a full dex build with no points into life, i would imagine you would hit hard but if you took a hit you would die instantly.(for pvp only)
I have just started duelling recently and have built a bowazon for this, she can kill but i also die, which i dont mind but i am dying agaisnt a lvl 76 bowazon where i am lvl 86, what are they using that is so good?
My gear is standard set up faith gmb, 2sk 30 frw, 76ed, 30 ias helm, 1 passive sk, str, dex, 20ias gloves, cats eye, 2 x ravens, verdungos belt, forti armor. anni and torch.
I read a guide that went down the max dex route, but before i tried it i thought i would try and get some feedback.
thx for advice....

Faith GMB needs approximately 95 outside ias to hit 7fpa. A Faith MatBow requires 25ias. The difference between these allows you that wear full damage/frw gear with a Mat bow.

Also, as far as bZvbZ, get plenty of frw for manual dodging and snipe. Also, make sure you have a high evade because you should be moving constantly whenever you aren't attacking. It's usually the better sniper who wins.

The faiths need to have a minimal of level 14 fanaticism I believe, otherwise more IAS will be needed

IAS calculator: http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/weaponspeed.php?lang=english
You will need 92%IAS to reach 7fpa.

Honestly I believe you can never have too much Dex. Bowazons aren't meant to take hits hence all of the evasive skills. I myself have built many bowazons since 1.09 if you are new to them play with builds till you find what works for you. I personally live by the dexazon build. Current making a new bowazon all Dex(literally) base everything else. She should do 7.3k dmg at 90 and have 1.1k life. I use legit max/life sc's and max/frw sc's. Shield and secondary weapon will be titans and -req ss.

Anyways back to your question its all a matter of preference I've seen decent 3k life/4-5kdmg zons. Honestly without dr or even with it zons aint meant to get hit usually gonna end up getting evade locked anyways. I prefer the most dmg for my money and just enough life to take a couple hits. Keep moving and dont get hit and you should do fine.

an extra 1k life won't save you from a pally charging at your face or a ww barb in your face or a fireball/lightning/hammer/etc. getting past your evasion skills
