Found a Bonehew...give to mercenary?

Is it worth putting a Hel in this thing to lower the STR req. so my merc can use it? He is level 80 and needs 18 str to use it...which means he will need to be 98 to use it naturally. He will likely never be that high.

It has 2 sockets, so the other one might get an Amn for extra LL. Even a Shael would give 20% more attack speed - given that I find a Vampire Gaze for him, would extra attack speed (Shael) or extra life leech (Amn) give him more life leech over time? It already has 30% IAS and states "Very Fast", so is there an upper limit you'd run into with a Shael?

Andariel's Visage would give him the STR - but it's ladder only and probably more expensive...plus I'd prefer the DR on the Vampire Gaze combined with the Shaftstop.
