what runewords to build towards?

hi all,
After reading another thread on the 1.11 runewords, I started to think whether or not using a runeword is worth it at all for my build.
I have a lvl 80 mauler, so I have been building for speed (still looking to build that 6 shael'd phase blade). As a backup weapon, I've been looking for the ones with elemental damage( Baranar's Star, IK Stonecrusher, etc).
Looking at the runewords, Beast looks appealing (with its +3 to Werebear and Lycanthropy). Any others that ppl recommend? Or should I just stick to building speed?

On the armor side, I have a Rhyme Grim shield and a Duriel's Shell (which I am looking at upgrading to a Great Hauberk). Is a runeword like Bramble or Chains of Honor worth it? Can I get higher def elsewhere?
Please note, I only play SP, and haven't done any trading, so getting high runes is going to be tricky.
All suggestions/opinions welcome!
