Mav Hybrid?

So I made a fishyzon, but I tire of tossing javs and draining my mana pool in 10 seconds or less.

I've also been oh so tempted to make a Mav zon for about as long as I can remember so this is where that came from. I'm hoping to run the TC87 areas with her, mostly the pit, CS, and WSK, which is where the hybrid comes into play, in that I feel poking baal/diablo is a better plan than shooting.

I'm planning on shooting for the 9/3 strafe BP and using Tunderstrokes for switch to charged strike with.

I haven't really thought out a stat plan, but I'm generally a fan of the max vit strategy. Would it be better to go max dex? I'm sorely lacking when it comes to charms, lifers or anni/torch.

For the skills I had planned on:

20 Charged Strike
20 CS synergy, maybe LF?
20 Strafe
1 in all the P&M

From there, I wasn't really sure how much to put into valk, do I want 17 with skills or 17 hardpoits? Also, would LF be worth it? Is pumping critical strike worth it, or would they be better spent in penetrate and pierce?

As for the gear, I need another 10 IAS to hit 9/3, but I'm not totally positive as to where I want that to come from. It'd obviously be from an IAS jewel or Highlords/Cat's Eye, and I'm leaning towards one of the amulets, but as always, we'll see what happens.

Set-up

Mav's set
Switch:Thunderstrokes/SS
Rings: Ravenfrost/dual leech ring or LL/stat ring
Amulet: Highlords/Cat's Eye/Atma's/Rare ammy
Boots: I was unsure here, War Travs would be nice, but I have a thing for tri-res boots and have a few pairs I'd love to use.

I was planning on using several Max/AR charms in my inventory.

Other questions: Would putting a nef in the bow be a good idea? If I decide to get the remaining IAS for the required BP would I be better served using an ED/IAS jewel in the bow or just tossing a 15 IAS jewel in the armor or helm?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a huge amazon nub. Don't worry about answering any or all of my questions, I'm mostly just looking for critiques on this build.

I guess my main question is can the Mav's put out enough danmage to kill effectively and quickly in hell 2-4 player games with strafe?
