Bit underwhelmed with Druid Fireclaws

Just hit 88 and respecced from Fury wolf to fire bear and gave Chaos Sanct a try to get a feel for the build. Spec below:

Fireclaws 20
Synergies 40

Maul 20
Shockwave 1
Prereqs 1
2 spirits 1

And I'm starting to add to

Armageddon, think 9 or so points in now. Equipped: +3 fireclaws Metamorphosis, Obedience superior (13% ed)

Thresher, Treachery

Archon Plate,

Laying of Hands, Highlords Wrath, BK ring, don't remember ring#2, Goreriders, Verdungo (Nosferato as alternative for more leach/ias), high roll anni, high roll torch, couple skillers and a bunch of varied resist charms.

Experience so far-
Pros: It seems that

Fire Claws hits nice and hard. Pretty fast when

Maul stacks are up and Marks are active. Bear is cool. Shockwave is excellent.

Cons:

Fire Claws and

Maul only hit one at a time. I suppose this could be mitigated by switching to Fury WW, but then I'm playing a Fury playstyle and not a

Fire Claws playstyle. I thought Fury was slow. This is agonizingly slow. Does not handle density well.

Armageddon doesn't seem like it does much, but perhaps that is b/c it isn't maxed out yet. I still can't imagine it clearing anything in higher Player counts. Perhaps when running dual Phoenix. I basically just

Maul or Claw in a pack while a ton of monsters

Swarm me and hit me from all sides. Sometimes I tank them just fine, but I'm also going through lots and lots of potions. My Act 5 merc does a commendable job, but without me able to hit more than one thing at a time, he gets overwhelmed also. He wears Treachery in

Eth Kraken, Bukwark

Fury Visor with +2

Iron Skin, Mania

Eth

Cryptic Sword and Lawbringer

Phase Blade.

I imagine Fire Bear is a good boss killer, but really bad at clear. I am wondering if it is worth the effort to level into high 90s or not. I may switch back to Fury and work toward eBOTD/eDeath just to "complete the build", because investing into single or dual Phoenix doesn't seem worth it if the character remains super slow.

Am I being too hasty?

thanks for the heads-up. I also thought experience will be like this. I have 3OS fire claw +1Fury head and a

Cham on ladder. I think head will go to

Charsi.

Cham can be used better elsewhere.

Yea, nobody's ever accused Fire Claw druid of being S-tier or even A-tier. That's why you rarely see them around.

As a long-time

Fury: Skill player, yes, you only try

Fire Claws once.

Then you have a story to tell your grandchildren about the time you were bored out of your mind playing your favorite game.

I only use Druid on hardcore.
