Restful Breeze is kinda bad on a Dervish, since you should be hitting stuff.
Test of Faith + Grenth's Fingers are not very good, along with Twin Moon Sweep. Mystic Twister I've found is only good on spikes.

This build needs more Heart of Fury, and Mystic Sweep is good -- but you're really best off using no Superior runes.

If possible can you post the attributes?

Jon, I would really consider using Splinter Weapon on a Hero Ritualist, Splinter Weapon at it's full potential along with Ancestor's Rage is quite sexy.

check out this thread. it has a few pretty good derv builds. basically if everyone doesn't rip it to shreds, it's pretty decent. I try and use skills mainly from mysticism and scythe mastery so I can max those attributes out. Bring a good monk when you enter an area or mission. And use minor runes so you don't lose any health.

Also if you're using eternal aura as a damage dealer, then you're using it incorrectly. Don't get me wrong it does good damage to a mob...once every 30 seconds. take an avatar as your elite (mel or lyssa usually) and use it to recharge your avatar so you can keep it up constantly. if you don't take an avatar, there isn't much reason to keep EA in your bar.

Twin Moon Sweep

That removes enchantments, that might be your problem.

That and you skills really aren't helping each out. Build combos. A good one that uses twin moon is to use lyssa- heart of holy flame - eternal aura -twin moon twice and then follow up with chilling victory.

Mystic Twister also removes your enchantments which easily gets you killed if your not paying attention.

I would remove these for better ones.
Grenth's Fingers
Test of Faith
Restful Breeze

good lyssa with heroes with is

chilling, twin moon, wild blow(W), heart of holy, mystic regen, eternal aura, heart of fury, lyssa

mystic regen helps with degen and let your m and me take care of the rest.

The main problem with this build is that you're using Lyssa, but not bringing skills to take advantage of it. Bring an IAS or fast-draw skills (Mystic Sweep, Eremite's Attack, Prot Strike) to get damage compression against enemies activating skills.
