C/C build question(s)

I run a dual claw build. I have 20 Venom, 20 shadow master, 20 dragon claw, 1 one into BF for support (AMAZING) and 10 into CoS. My first question is: Is it worth it to put 10 points into claw mastery? Or should I put those 10 into CoS instead? Claw mastery seems like it would be pretty beneficial, and as it is now, if I go into the 90's I can max it if that's what should be done.

This leads me to my second question: Since claw mastery is raising my weapon damage, does that in turn raise blade fury damage? I still find myself using this skill a TON despite the fact that i'm not running a blade fury build.

My last question is a gear question. Here's my setup:

Fury (+3 venom suwwayyah)
Chaos (+2 venom +1BF wrist sword)
Fort
Gore's
Guillaume's Face
Ravenfrost (236/20)
114AR/5Ml ring w/ misc resists
string of ears
2MA/10IAS/knockback crafted gloves
2SD/20dex ammy w/ misc resists

The only problems I really have are with bad resists and physical immune mobs. Fade fixes most of the resist issues and I'm sure with the rest of the Anya quests they'll be decent enough. Probably Um the Guillaume's too.
So my question is, are there better things I should be wearing for a dual claw build? I can handle most stuff in hell solo pretty easily. I don't use whirlwind too much because it rips my weapons apart but I don't think I need it either.
Expensive items aren't a problem, so I'm open to any and all gear selections. I find that the guides tend to not really list the top end gear and that's exactly what I need to figure out.

Thanks in advance,

CM will affect BF's damage and AR. Before dumping points into it though, I'd add one point and see what the difference is--you can check BF's AR by looking at Normal Attack, and for damage remember to factor in the %gain in critical strike.
CM gains don't tend to be very good after one point, but your case--a fairly damaging weapon and not many +skills--might be a bit different.

Putting points into CoS is mostly a waste for all but underpowered builds.

I'd probably be considering putting some points in DS before anything else. It'll help somewhat with your PI problems, as well as giving you AoE damage. Putting 20 points into FoF for it's hidden 1% fire conversion might be worth thinking about too, though I suspect you'd find it a bit slow.

Other good PI solutions would be Act2 Merc / Reapers, Act 5 Merc / Lawbringer, Act 2 Merc / Wrath.

Act 2 Merc / Wrath.

Typo fix: Act 1 Merc / Wrath.
