One thing I noticed is that your weapon does not do that much damage. It's pretty low. I would think real hard about using a 2-handed sword or at least 2 weapons. At level 21 / 22 you will start finding alot of high powered 2h swords. Try one for a little while and see if you dont kill your enemies quicker.
Also, thousand strikes and summon ghost have saved my buttox on many, many occasions. Thousand strikes takes alot of mana so you will be limited on other spells that you want to use but have plenty of revital potions with ya and you should do well.
The thing I love about thousand strikes is that you hit 5 strikes on everything around you; so it's a GREAT equilizer. I am almost soley a warrior class. I only have have heal and summon ghost [ both healing types of spells ] outside of warrior skill set.
At least TRY a 2H sword for a little while. I think that you find that you have much better results.
