item sets for ftr/rog halfling advice

[Slink]

Hello-

I am not terribly familiar with some of the newer content, particularly house c and am not sure of options as far as that content is concerned with 'alchemical items'.

This character is a 7th lifer, 3 rogue past lives, 3 ftr past lives.
Final build is halfling, 12 ftr/7rog/1mnk, str based but otherwise flat stats.
Weapons are mostly GS rapiers/picks.

Being he is done with the TR train (although i have considered monk lives for dmg, yet, I digress at the thought of another TR on this character ),
I am wondering what things I should consider for epic gear, particularly helmet, bracer and perhaps glove slots.
His current gear setup is/or will be:

minos helm (looking for alternative)
Shintao set w/ exc strength
spare hand with +6 chr/+2 luck
stalker ring with gtr false life
GS air +45 cloak
tharnes set @ bracer/goggle yet i have tharnes avail via DT on 3 sets of outfits (looking for alternative at bracer)
epic facets @ trinket
epic gloves of claw

I am wondering if I may have room to fit in abishai set or looking for advice towards alternatives. yes, grinding chrono sounds worse than the TR grind...

Also, does anyone know the bonus to BS with assasin set?

thanks!
