I think that it really depends on your style of play. And your equipment. What is your Int? My WD is level 27 and I'm using a 40dps ceremonial blade (socketed with a perfect ruby) so it does about 56dps. I have a mojo in the off-hand and about 700 Int.

My setup is like this: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...YTUR!bX!aaZaaa
I stand back and fire a couple of dire bats and then clean up anyone who escaped it with splinters. Monsters almost never get up on me 'cause I kill them too fast. Increased attack speed and Int make a really big difference in your damage.

How are you getting killed? I'm guessing that you need to find some +Int equipment and get your damage up so you can kill them before they get on top of you.
