Ur solution is good both early/mid game not just mid (u can make honorifc on t1 wpn not just t4 and lvl req is much lower)... in 1 single item... there's no need to add any spelldmg/focus on wpn as u can get that from the rest of the gear (since ur'e gettin rid of %ar/moa issues on 1 slot)...
Then we only need to wait for others to link the notarmory of their "ump" friends doin labs 12+... easily solved...
Well, I'd argue about the T1 honorific. Sure, it can be good as well, but I personally think the
Gnarled Root
is the better item for leveling to 105. The 30% to all stats are really strong and allow for an easier vita leveling early on. The attack speed is also great. Gnarled Root

And the issue with the T1 honorific is that you'll basically waste your socket slots. And when you upgrade a honorific item from T1 to T4, it will still be left with 1 or 2 sockets depending on the weapon. And there's not much else you want on your weapon tbh. Just attack speed, mana on attack and Attack rating. Everything else is a bonus. Which is why I think the level requirement is pretty much wasted when you're using a T1 honorific only. Plus this would basically result in wasted gold, and you'd have to waste time farming gold for your T4 honorific, which simply adds a lot more attack rating.
So I'd go with a T4 honorific, probably socketed with Perfect amythysts for the juicy 50% attack rating for low level req (Gems have a level req of 18, so they don't get in your way when socketing them into a level req 24 weapon unlike a level req 60 jewel for example, since this is added on top of the +level req from mystic orbs). Maybe a low level req indest jewel as well. Then I'd go with mystic orbs in the following order: Attack rating, mana on attack (those 2 are vital) attack speed (which is important, too, but you can skip it if you already have enough attack speed from your other gear) life on attack, fire spell damage. That will leave you with a level req of 104-124 depending on how many ias mo's you put on your weapon.
But for early game (until level 105) Gnarled root is imho the preferred weapon. Especially so when you consider that you can get up to 400% AR on it as well. 550% if you're really lucky. In the screenshot below I exchanged 1 jewel/Amethyst with a indest jewel, which is why I only reached 347%. And lucky upgrade failed. Diablo on nightmare was pretty easy though and I never had any mana troubles.
And yes, I really just leveled a toon to see if gnarled root is the better weapon early game (until level 105)
