Pure Kicker bad idea?

I didn't realy get the answers i wanted in my last post,
so I'll try again but a little different.

So, basically I want to build a kick-assasin,
but I have no idea how to make one and what skills to use.

I made one a few moths ago, pretty similar to the warrior monk build.

But the thing is that I don't like tha DS-thing,
I want good kicker and not a hybrid.

The items I thought would be good for this build is:
Armor: Duress (Wyrm)
Weapon: Beast (Ba)
Gloves: Bloodfist / Dracul's
Belt: String of Ears (8ll, 15% dr)
Boots: Shadow Dancer / Sandstorm Trek
Helm: Guillaumes (socketed with something)

Rings: Dual Leech Rare + Raven / Angelic Combo
Amu: Cat's Eye / Angelic Combo

This gives me decent life/mana leech
(assuming I don't use Angelic Combo)
and GOOD fhr and 70% Crushing Blow.

So here comes the tricky part.
What skills should I use?
I have no idea how this charge-up skills work and if it's good/bad or whatever, just tell me.

Is venom a good idea or does it just suck realy bad?

DTail or DTalon?
Which does most damage in the long run and which one will give me the best killing speed?

Please help me out, I have been interested in a cool kicksin for a long time,
but they have SO MANY skills and nothing is realy obvious.

Pure martial artist is not a bad idea.... just you cannot compare the killing speed of a pure MA to a hybrid build like trap-kicksin.

DTail and DTalon are all finishing move, you don't have to have a charge-up attack but it's better IMO to use charge-up attacks to add more damage to your kicks.

Some charge-up skills require you to use dual claws, some don't. You might want to check the PS, TS/TC, DTail builds in the stickies and see which one is closer to your idea of build ( for stats/str/skills/weapon etc .. )

And if you want to do Ubers, you definitively have to go with DTalon.

There are some "pure kickers" but most of the damage comes from maxed venom with +skills.
