Questions on the Warrior Monk Build

Well seeing as the guide thread seems so have gone inactive, I was hoping I could get some advice here.

I REALLY like this build. I'm stoked to make one. But the thing is, there is no way in hell I could afford the runewords suggested in the guide. So I'm pretty much trying to play this character on a budget. I looked through the amazing gear suggestions and this is what I've come up with that I think I can afford:
Weapon: Fleshripper
Armour: Duress probably. Could I switch out Duress for a Smoke if I can't get a hold of an um?
Gloves: Trang Gloves
Shield: Probably Stormshield socketed with a P Diam.
Helm: Guillaumes
Boots: Upped Gores
Belt: IK Belt
Amulet: Highlords probably. I was also thinking of using The Cat's Eye, but then I realised I have absolutely no mana leech. I'm thinking I'll use a Crescent Moon? Do I even need mana leech? I was also thinking of using Atma's, seeing as I'm not going to be going to Tristram, and the amplify damage would make my kicks that much deadlier :p
Ring 1: Cheapass Raven
Ring 2: Carrion Wind
Switch: 2 +3 to Shadow Disciplines claws for casting fade, venom and shadow master

With this setup, I'd have 70 CB, 73 DS and 60 OW not using Highlords or Duress. With Duress, I'd have 85 CB, 73 DS and 93 OW. With Highlords, I'd have 85 CB, 93 DS and 93 OW at level 80.

Would this gear work out? If not, what should I change out to fix it?

I was also wondering how this build fares in Hell cows and pits. Would I be able to solo hell cows/pits in 8 player games?
