pve without wounding strike should be illegal. I don't remember wear it is capped but you should get it as soon as you can.

1 rule I have for self heals.. it's better to mitigate the damage your taking rather than to spend time healing it. So passive skills like mystic regen are priceless. The build I used through most of nightfall and now through the other campaigns is this.

Wounding strike (E)
mystic strike
victorious strike
wild blow
mystic regeneration
watchful intervention
faithful intervention
res sig

all you need is 8 earth prayers I believe for mystic to give you +3 regen for a +9 with all your enchants. Faithful and watchful intervention I use mainly just to have an enchant for mystic to gain regen from. Faithful I hardly ever have to recast unless it saved my life, and watchfull lasts 60 seconds so it's not a problem. You can use vital boon instead of watchful if ya want, I used to.

I'm never dying for energy with that build and spreading deep wound every 3 seconds I find to be one of the most beneficial things a character can do. It's very self reliable and your monks will love you.

.....wounding strike.......I'd replace Mystic regen with armor of sancity or conviction.

The one thing I hate about most Dervish builds is the whole constant upkeep of that mystic regen, which has never seemed that good, a mending wammo, with Vigorous spirit, zealous axe and triple chop and cyclon axe make better front line than mystic regen, sorry, but that's the truth.

well enough rant, your build looks good, you seem to have more sense than others... might try it out.
