Would paladin do well on this build ?

Thinking about it because it has access to Sacred Armor, Rapture, Dragon's Blessing and Stormlord (flat stats for more dmg)
with some adrenaline rush it could reach crazy speed

Grim presencec works with whirlwind I've tested it. Playing as superbeast feels more fun tho!

It's just a thought, but what do you think: would the combination of those items work good on pala for this build?

-> adds Fire Dmg pro 2% Attack Speed (and don't forget those 120% IAS from Hammer + 6x15% IAS Jewels/Runes) + Fire Pierce
And then maybe stack up Gorefest Relics because of those 40% IAS

I've wanted to do this for so long!

Another one I considered was using this same playstyle but super maxing mana since druid gets a massive mana pool.
He'd use Riptide (Sha'ad boots) for its 25% ctc Arcane Torrent on melee attack.
With WW you'd probably be barfing out a proc several times per second

nice vid man.
