Default Critique: Devil's Troll Build

I know there's several builds out there but I would like to gain feedback from the community about my build.

W/Mo

Attributes:
Healing Prayers 2
Smiting Prayers 1 (I know it works 3, 8, 13 oh well +_+)
Strength 13
Axe 11
Tactics 16

Runes:
Superior Strength
Superior Axe
Superior Tactics

Equipment:
15k Glad Set
15k Ascalon Helm
Fiery Spiked Axe of Troll Slaying
Crimson Carapace Shield (Stance)

Skills:
Balthazar's Spirit
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit
Bonetti's Defense
Cyclone Axe
Sprint
Gladiator's Defense [Elite]
Dolyak Signet


Process and Presentation
As soon as I exit Droks to Talus Chute I immediately use Balthazar's Spirit which is then immediately followed by two instances of Sprint (which should get you to the entrance of the cave no problem). Once at the entrance I use Live Vicariously and proceed into the cave and aggro as many trolls as I can (typically there are 14-18). After the trolls are after me I use Cyclone Axe, Dolyak Signet, and Glad's Def. in that order. Then I use Cyclone Axe twice and turn on Vigorous Spirit, by that time Glad should run out and I use Bonetti's Def. until Glad is recharged. Throughout the fight I always use Cyclone Axe when it's available and it is ALWAYS followed by Bonetti's Def. except when Glad's Def is on. Eh...you get the idea. Always have Dolyak Sig on and always use Cyclone Axe when it's available blah blah blah.

So positive / negative feedback plz. Be sure to add suggestions too!

I have found out the best build that keeps you alive and you can kill avicara (as long as there are no mesmer or necro avicara).

Glad's Def {E}
Cyclone Axe
Bonneti's Defense
Watch Yourself
Doylak Signet
Live Vicariously
Vigorous Spirit
Mending

Attributes(170 Points)

Healing 8
Strength 3+1 (Rune)
Axe Mastery 9+1 (Rune)
Tactics 11+2 (Rune and Helm)
2 Attribute Points left over

Armor:
All Glad's and Ascalon Helm
Any Shield that has +health always, enchanted or in stance and dmg reduction

Weapon:
Any Axe that has dmg bonus; Sundering or Furious Haft; Fortitude Grip
Victo's Axe is best to go with

Put on Mending first and when energy is full put on live vicariously. Gather as many trolls as you can (Do not attempt to kill bosses with this, it will take forever). First use Glad's Def and use Vigorous Spirit when you are in glad's def. Use cyclone axe to get your adrenaline and health up. After using cyclone use Bonneti's Def. Repeat over agian until Glad's Def is recharge. Use Doylak Signet during Gla'ds Def. Then repeat until all troll are killed and collect your stuff.

[This build is somewhat faster than the 55 Monk]

I use something somewhat like the above post with my warrior but I'm rather confused about the "This build is somewhat faster than the 55 Monk" part generally I can kill the hall group with a round and a half of SoJ and using Arcane Echo. It's around a minute... Maybe I'm just running the build slowly or something... Oh, and I've tried using Dolyak Signet and have just found Shield Stance more powerful, any particular reason why everyone uses Dolyak?

The purpose I use dolyak is because of the amazing armor donus and duration. I tried 'dont feel no pain's suggestion by switching out dolyak for watch yourself but I found that my survival rate decreased lol. The build I posted is probably faster than RagetheKilla's build, the only issue with mine compare to his is that he kills avicara.

Honestly, with the build I use I could say I kill the group of trolls around 1:20 because I usually use two instances of glad's defense (it has 30 sec. recharge). If I switched Dolyak w/WatchYourSelf! then I could prolly kill the troll group in a lesser amount of time seeing the fact that I wouldn't be using a sup strength rune and I would be using the remaining attribute points into axe and healing.
