The path of Poison

my current setup:

lv29 Amazon (normal mode)
strength: about 80
dexterity: about 110
vitality: near base
energy: a bit more than base

weapon: heavy massive crossbow of pestilence
dmg: 21-40
speed: very slow
+60 poison over 6 secs

charm #1: +16 poison over 4 secs
charm #2: +16 poison over 4 secs
charm #3: +10 poison over 3 secs

I read some faqs/stickies/write-ups regarding poison but did not understand some of it. Is it true that (1) if i keep hitting the same monster i'm not letting the poison affect it cus it's resetting the damage (is that right?) and (2) the most powerful poison (highest total damage) negates the other stuff, ie. charms?

I want to know if i'm wasting my time with these charms, or are they actually a benefit. According to my character screen they increase the AR quite a bit.
My other question is what should be my plan of attack? I use bow/crossbow only and don't melee. I try not to use strafe/multi too much cus it's only 75% damage, but it's usually convenient against mobs.

thanks for the advice!!! :prop:
