The 120 - 125 level range is awful especially if you are trying to farm Duncraig. That gear seems solid enough for your level (I was in much worse gear) so I am not entirely sure what is causing the issue.

What I can say is that Harb druid feels weak in general. You have to get a lot out of the few things that matter to the build. I would argue that there isn't a lot of support in the items for the wolf and as such your progression ends up feeling very slow. This coupled with a style that involves warping in the middle of mobs can make it frustrating.

What I can say is that I had a candlewake that sat in my stash for quite some time, the DR from
Erawan

Erawan
Body Armors

'LemKoCham'
Runeword Level: 83
15% Combat Speeds
5% Chance of Crushing Blow
+(144 to 171)% Enhanced Defense
(27 to 30)% to Strength
(27 to 30)% to Vitality
Physical Resist (13 to 15)%
(15 to 20)% Bonus to Defense
could make a significant difference for you at that level. I was level 130 when I finally put candlewake on for the damage boost. I actually asked Rumble about whether it was worth swapping when I first got it, I spent like... an hour debating but ultimately figured at the time that the damage wasn't worth it. Is is now that I am in the 2k strength range, but at the time the DR and other helpful stats made it more of an ideal item choice.

Anyway, if you are dying a lot it is possible you are not warping around enough, your kill speed is low (which would surprise me with that stuff), or you are letting buffs run out/mana drains etc.

If you are farming in Duncraig I will reiterate what I said before, that area is hard on the wolf and I literally spent as little time there as possible. While this area is a decent farm location later I really don't see it's value for Wolf at all personally. A huge part of the issue here is that your major advantage is ranged dodge chance and killing waves. In Duncraig they are all melee so you can't even warp around the enemies to let the birds peck their eyes out. You warp in, then get killed as they all hit you. Added to that is the barrels can stop being visible as you warp around, so suddenly BOOM and if you fail a dodge its GG.

If you are having issues in Tenganze I would bet that you just need to be more aware of the ebb and flow of the attacks. Enemies there tend to fire at the same time so you can use that to your advantage warping to a new pack to dodge. Your defense is literally your mobility augmented with your stats. Sustain through LaeK is only good if you are not taking 50 hits in the face. Additionally it helps to realize that magical absorbs here are just not worth the time to kill, and they can also become warp points which help give you retreat paths.

That was also around the time I started to really outfit my barb merc. Giving him a ton of on attack procs makes him a huge damage boost so clear speeds go down. He also throws a stun periodically which is awesome, and his items are fairly easy to make. The biggest issue is the annoying use of MotW periodically when I do not notice mine (and his) have gone down.

Hopefully some of this helps.

You either haven't maxed werewolf form - licantrophy bonus applies only when it is maxed and feed the pack works only when licantrophy works. If you have it maxed, then just recast werewolf form. It should work then

Get elvensong to 26, symbiosis is useless right now, it won't give any avoid otherwise.

Also get your weapon to have at least 150% attack speed, your attack speed is terrible

Unless you stack a ton of mana after kill you're always going to have mana problem.Get used to having mana pulse on left click and casting it once in a while.
You could craft jewels with mana after kill, but then you would lose on magic find
Actually, i'm not even sure if mana after kill works while you're a wolf

Can anyone confirm the 4fpa attack is actually working as intended for werewolfs ( 6+ attack animations per second and correct amount of procs? )

I read the thread by suchbalance where he talks about wereform attack speed breakpoints and used the parameters for werebear he mentioned in second page to decrease my shapeshifter merc attack to 3fpa, but it doesn't look like he is attacking 8 times per second and proccing as much as he is supposed to with several on melee attack procs /10% fortress, 25% miasma, 5% doom(with ignore target defense against normal mobs).
