Prepping for Ubers

Hello all,

I have been building a 1 point smiter according to the excellent guide posted here. I have also been following the other fanazealot guide stickied here (as thats essentially what a 1pt smiter is). I have finally gathered 3 keysets and are almost ready to ubers. I just want to make sure I am ready (or almost as it seems) to do it.

Currently my char is level 84 with the following skills:

Maxed Fana, Zeal, HS.
level 8 sacrifice. 1 pt prereqs, redemption, salvation.

I have 10 free skill points + 4 more for pending skill quests. Is there anything besides sacrifice I should be putting points into? I read somewhere that Defiance, for the HS defence bonus. Is this worth it? Also, with a sacred rondache and HS, my current block is 60%. Should I raise dex to accomodate max block?

my base stats are:

STR: 116 +25 from guillames face and sigons gaunts.
Dex: 111 + 8 from rare ammy + 7 from ring
Vit: 150
Energy: Base

I have a free 114 stat points +15 from lam esems, i've yet to do. Should I raise my base dex (maybe to 126 for phase blade?) and str to? Or should I just dump the 100+ into vit?

My gear is as follows:

Guillame's face
Redeemer (should be getting a lightsabre soon, also have a 1os heaven's light)
Rare pally shield (garbage, looking for a elite pally shield currently.)
Sigon's gaunts (need something new, probably cant afford dracs)
String of Ears
Gore Riders
Manald heal and rare LL, +7 Dex ring, resist ring
Rare ammy with Dex and resists.
Armor is a crappy rare platemail.

Currently I am looking to replace the gloves, armor and shield (the lightsabre I am def getting, as affordable fast killing power). What should I look for in the armor and gloves to replace. Drac's, as I said is out of my reach, as if HoZ for a shield. I am thinking Duriel's or Gris armor for replacing my armor.

Any ideas?

Also, I have a fair amount of CB and LL, does smite apply CB and LL? From my testing it doesnt really seem too, but maybe im just missing it. If it doesnt, then I take the plan in trist is to zeal with CB, then smite to death?

Sorry for the long post, but I want my pally prepared to solo uber trist.

Thanks guys
