Snake stance works pretty well with Windform. You want to use weapons with big AoE WDM procs to spread the poison such as

Fpas are calculated by subtracting the weapon's WSM by the weapon's IAS. You need to get to -34 to get 2fpa. For example a weapon with 10 WSM will require 44% IAS. I actually made a trinity beam Windform barb based around
