sorry if it was mentioned, as i didn't read the whole thread.

Do you have the Maul glyph? the one that makes hitting 2 targets instead of 1.
It's the best thing since sliced bread.

macro maul to everything (swipe, mangle, lacerate, FFF) to make sure it's always on.
if you know you might be low on thread, just go Berserk and Mangle spam, that should give you a good lead.
