Default Help with an Axe Farming Build

OK....
I've started to get the hang (I think) of solo farming, but I've been doing most of my fdarming with swords. I've come across some threads saying that using axes are better, so I want to give it a try.
So far, I've bought a set of Glad's armor, with an Ascalon Helm. I'm not sure what runes I should use. I've also capped all the axe elite skills, but I'm not sure of a good farming build iin regards to skills.
Suggestions?

What are you looking to farm? What is your secondary? Are you in prophecies/factions/or both? Just a little bit of useful info needed. Anyway, here's a W/Mo Anti-Melee farming build (trolls, minotaurs, all creatures that rely only on melee attacks)

Axe: As high as you can get it
Tactics: about 9
Healing: 9
Strength: All spare

Triple Chop
Cyclone Axe
Executioner's Strike
Bonneties Defence
Vigorous Spirit
Live Vicariously
Mending
+ rebirth if power leveling, otherwise sprint for getting past hazards (*cough* avicara *cough*)

-I generally farm all over, but lately I've been in the Jade Sea (Outcasts), and around the Altruim Ruins (Wardens). Basically trying to stay in those areas where the drops are worth the fighting (I like the fighting..lol).
-My secondary is Elemental.
-I own both Prophecies and Factions.

The point of farming melee creatures is that they mob you (which is a good thing). Then, a Triple Chop/Cyclone Axe will hit each and every creature. This gains your tons of life (with a Vampiric Axe, Live Vicariously, and Vigorous Spirit), builds up a ton of adrenaline (to fuel Executioner's Strike, Bonetti's Defense, etc. after just 1 swing), and/or builds up a ton of energy (with a Zealous Axe). Additionally, but less important, is that your armor is best against physical damage and absorption actually works. Also, one of the keys to farming is the amount of time taken, and melee creatures are fairly quick to dispose of with Triple Chop, etc.
