Gores is better because you dont just need Crushing Blow, you need a source of Open Wounds to combat the Ubers extremely high life regen; Gores provides both.

Nuff said, DR, life regen and Vit. That is excellent for prebuff with CTA.
This doesn't work. +Vitality from items isn't multiplied by BO, only hard points into Vitality and +Life (
not +Life per Character Level) is affected.
Thundergod's Vigor is probably the best PvM belt in existence, and though IK is cheaper by a small margin, T-Gods should be considered 'end-game' gear by anyone who is pure PvM. Dungo's is almost strictly PvP gear; you should never need DR against Ubers, 1 point of DR helps you dramatically less than 1 pt of max resists in PvM and so I would highly suggest T-Gods.

Would you guys recommend smiting Mephisto with Salvation on? I guess without Fana and Fortitude, 1 point Smite won't do enought damage to finish him?
Smite with some Crushing Blow and Open Wounds will finish him with Salvation on almost as fast as with Fanatacism; if you are worried about resists go the safer route, you don't need to worry about time, only mana supply.

question about the lifetap wand. Do i get a want with lifetap charges? I cant seem to find one in the vendors
Life Tap (18) Head(24)[60/6], Daggers(24)[60/6], Wands(24)[60/6], Axes(48)[20/3]
Those are the items you can get Lifetap charges on. Yes you can shop them.
