you should never aim for mf. it's just a luxury to tack on after you have good kill speed. quantity > quality in this mod + having a stronger character means you will actually be able to do the real fights at 125 and above ubers instead of just brainless farming for items you likely wont end up using.

edit: with the exception of your character specifically being made to farm. even then, quantity > quality, but you can stray away to pick up slightly more mf (aim like 200-250 and youre well off) otherwise focus on clear speed.

Sadly, I don't have any tg or relic, so I have to find the Eagle orb on my own. Anyway, thanks for the info!

we can only use one stance at a time? ie, we cant use both lion stance and eagle stance at the same time?

yes

This was always the case, but they are now buffs, meaning you can use prebuff items to boost your stance. I do not know how barb stances interact with relic stances though. Maybe you can cast lion stance and get bear/eagle stance from relics (stances from relics work as auras to my knowledge). Someone can confirm this.

Stances override each other. They can be prebuffed now because they are buffs. The only way I know of to have more than one stance affect you is to have an item that grants one on equip.

Just to clarify...

All stances have been changed from auras to buffs, thus freeing up the right mouse button for skill use
These buffs last 20 minutes, overwrite each other and can be swapped with a single cast
oSkill version of these skills have been replaced with auras (i.e. Auriel's Robe) where possible and removed/replaced otherwise, to prevent prebuff abuse
oSkill stances will overwrite Barbarian stances (if present)

Additionally only LAST stance applied from items

If you, or anyone in the game, has higher maximum mana than maximum life, the Erynis’ curse will pierce 30 flat elemental. There are good builds out there which meet this criteria

What is the meaning of "3% of base strength" in barbarian nephalem spirit? If I add, for example, a mystic orb that adds strength, this counts as base strength?
