So fear kiting, you should be using the better ratio weapon. If it feels like the better ratio weapon isn't working as well, it's either in your head or you're out of range for too many attacks.

Noc blade ratio is 0.692. GFG is 0.806. You will do 16.35% more damage with GFG

You don't need agil past 75, you don't need any dex (your aggro isn't proc dependent), you don't really need str (dps is nice, but it's not your primary role). Stam only provides a couple hp per point, up to 4 iirc at lvl 60. Raw HP items will likely provide much more (you can check using magelo).

I think in general, if a piece of armor isn't offering a pretty large hp boost, blood ember will be an upgrade. Blood ember boots are 21 AC, Darkforge are 11 AC 3 stam.
