Abandoned-craft/Creepy-bless Leather Gloves (your Light Gauntlets are fine), and

Whether you're using the Set or Alt Gear, you'll also want to have eaten 150 SoL and collected all the Charms up to and including End-Game Part II. Make sure you're using enough crafted jewels to hit the 5 fpa IAS breakpoint. After which, you can have your non-RW gear socketed with Lum Runes for more MF.
Akarat's Crucifix
is meant more for after you've eaten enough SoL to reach about 50% CtB with the Shield equipped and Baneblade active, but you can certainly use it sooner.
