Building my first 'sin.

[Wmeredith]

OK, so it's really not my first sin, but my first one was a disaster that I had the mercy to "put down" a year ago. I've seen so many CL sorc's own everything with their infinity mercs that I'm building a trapper/fury sin with an infinity merc. My main question is gear, since my bread and butter is zon's, I know very little about equipping a sin. Check it out and let me know if there is something obvius to normal sin players that I'm missing:

Skills:
1 Blade Fury
Max LS, and DS, CBS
10 in Shockweb
10 Shadow warrior (I would go SM, but I can't stand conversion)
Utilities: 1 Fade, 1 BoS, prereq's

Stats:
Max Vit.
Enough of everything else for gear.

Gear:
Shako
Mara's
Arach
CoH
Nat's Boots
Raven Frost
Mana Leech Ring
Frostburn
Trap weaps: Dual trap claws or Hoto/Spirit
BF switch: Death PB/Tiamat's
Spirit Monarch

Merc:
Infinity Cold merc with stone and vamp/andy's
My plan is to throw traps and then spam Bfury until a monster dies then throw a DS, rinse, repeat.

My questions:
Does + damage (Grief) carry over to BF?
Should I wear another claw instead of Tiamat's for my BF switch?
Do I have enough ias for throwing traps?

I know the trap build is solid, so I think this will be great with infinity and the fact that I can go all BF/Death Sentry if I get bored with just watching the BBQ. Thanks for any input.

No.

Not unless you're in love with Weaponblock. There's not much else that an offhand claw can offer you for BF.

Since you're not using Fire Blast, trap throwing speed is not very important. Greater Talons will have a big advantage over the HotO there if you're concerned about it.

Thanks for the tips. She's 78 now. I'm really likeing this build. I just need an infinity and she'll be close to unstoppable.
