Yeah, just try to upgrade your armor to have Whale as a suffix. That and you can get a better weapon. CCB of Quickness, then put in 40/15 Max's or Ohms (Not sure if Lo is good or not, since I don't think everytime you hit with WW, deadly strike is recalculated, not sure though... Apoq?). Craft two 11% ll Rings with better mods too. It pretty much comes down to who can leech more and who does more damage. Life isn't all that important as long as it is decent, but the leech and and damage is very important.

I'm sure Apoq will correct something I said here, but that is my advice off the top of my head.
