I need 30% IAS and increased block rate, recommend equipment for my build:

Okay, so I have a build in mind... a combination of an energy shield sorc and a dual dream melee enchantress, unfortunately the equipment is pretty limiting. All of the below slots are basically must haves.

Weapon: Passion Phase Blade (this is the build)
Body: The Gladiator's Bane (needed to obtain high amounts of PDR/MDR)
Helmet: Dream Diadem (this is the build)
Shield: Dream Troll's Nest (this is the build)
Amulet: Charged/Archangel's Amulet of Life Everlasting (needed to obtain high amounts of PDR)

Ideally, the rest of the slots are as follows:

Gloves: Frostburns (hella mana, needed to fuel energy shield which will be taking all damage)
Boots: Silkweaves (ditto)
Rings: The Stone of Jordan (hella mana and plus to skills)
Belt: Arachnid's Mesh (ditto)

Now here's the issue: To reach the next zeal attack breakpoint, I'm going to need 30% more IAS after the 25% from Passion kicks in. Ideally, it'd be nice to get 30%, but 15% or more also works as I can place a 15% IAS jewel (is there a jewel mod that gives quicker blocking rate/chance to block?) in the Gladiator's Bane. (it would house a Sol otherwise, likely) Also, I'd like quicker block rate and chance to block to make my shield more useful, as blocking hits gives my absurd mana regeneration a chance to kick in longer.

I consider the gloves, boots, rings, and belt to be expendable (and perhaps the amulet if PDR can be obtained with other recommendations). The question is, are there any uniques/rare item combinations/crafted items that can do what I need for the expendable slots?

Shortened version:
Need a combination of gear that has PDR, MDR, IAS, and Faster Block Rate/Chance to Block that outweighs the mana gain from my current gear selection.

Any help?
