PvP - MLD Fireclaws Bear?

Anyone into MLD dueling and have made a fireclaws bear? With the use of stone, does the +molten boulder charges act like the marrowalk bug and add to your fireclaws damage (if no points are spent into it)?

This bear will be level 49, as far as my gear goes for now.

I was thinking something like this for my gear...

- ShaelShaelShaelShaelShaelUm Crystal Sword
Will openwounds work with fireclaws? I didn't need the last shael because I hit the breakpoint along with my other gear, and I couldn't think of anything else helpful except a stat jewel or um for openwounds. I went with openwounds.

- "Stone" in Dusk Shroud
Dusk is level required 49, so I'm guessing its the best armor for it, as it gives good defense while keeping low requirements. Stone for the obvious sick defense, FHR, and stat mods, and also molten boulder for the synergy glitch?

- Jalals, socketed with IAS/Stat jewel.
Self explanitory. Please tell me if there is a better helm.

- "Sanctuary" in Tower Shield

Can get sick resists, little FHR bonus, along with 20 dexterity. Also has relatively good blocking compared to alot of other MLD shields.

- Bloodfist

Defenitly will get me a cute FHR breakpoint, and gets me the IAS breakpoint in conjunction with other gear. Also adds a small bit of life. It was either these or the sander's gloves, or rares/crafts, which I don't know would be better or not, and I usually have bad luck with crafting... Though the crushing blow gloves are tempting, can say 10% or more IAS spawn on these kind of crafted gloves?

- Thundergod's / Crafted Blood Belt
Don't know what is best here, Thundergod's gives good stats, but might have the highest strength requirement if I do use them, so I was thinking maybe a crafted blood belt with 10% open wounds and FHR possibly.

- Gore Riders
Adds some extra crushing blow and open wounds, and with the speed that I will be swinging they'll defenitly trigger.

- Angelics Amulet / Ring + Ravenfrost
Ravenfrost for dex boost, along with a nice AR bonus. Angelics for the stats and life, and huge AR. Would use 2 rings, but CBF is necessary.

- As many shape shifting skillers I can get, and 20 lifers as fillers.

That's about the best I've come up with for gear, and for skills...

20 Fireclaws
20 Firestorm
1 into Lycanthropy
1 all prerequisites
Rest into Werebear

I guessed that oak sage wasn't really worth it, as it just gets killed pretty easily.

I will be aiming for the 152% FHR breakpoint, so from gear I get 140, plus 3 FHR Sc's = 155% FHR :)

Stats are basic, enough strength for items, enough dexterity for max block, and rest vita.

Any input is appreciated.
