By the time you're able to equip that bow, speed shouldn't be an issue. Wolf stance gains speed from soft points so at slvl 10 (39%ias), using a long war bow (+15wsm) you only need 68 additional ias to reach 8 frames. Amok-Xis has 60% alone and charms more than cover the rest. This doesn't take into consideration any speed from Ancient Blood.
A high roll on tantrum is pretty important for the extra skill duration which increases the already high mana cost of the skill. Casting 1pt Shamanic Trance for mana regen may help, as will 2% mana leech jewels.
