Act 2 Frozen Merc W/ Infinity Thresher

Sound like it would work? How much Fcr should I aim for? I have a 35 viper than can be um'd and upped, or I can use a dusk coh and lose the Fcr for the extra skill point. What gear would you use and would the conviction help the combo of FO/FB alot or only slightly?

Also I want to note I went with Fire Mastery instead of maxing Meteor, because I think it's been noted somewhere on here that mastery gives a larger % damage per level than meteor. It also just hit me that I will most likely never use meteor enough to put a point into it so afew more points can go to some of the other skills.
