SSF warlock

Decided to take the plunge and do a SSF warlock run after playing on and off online since the original release. Went fire up to A4 NM, and then abyss through hell on very budget gear. Spirit, lore, rhyme in a tome, generic dual resist rings and ammy, same with gloves, belt. Found a wraith step (demon skills) and a skulders. Used a socket quest for the skulders for a p topaz. Now that I have beaten hell (the act 2 wave of Baal was a royal btch with the magic immunes) and can finally start playing the game, whats the best course of action? I still have 2 respecs left, and i see blood boil and cleave are what people are going for. Do I respec into one of those, farm NM Andy on p7 for gear, or do p1 areas in hell like cows? Highest rune is a Ko, so i could make myself an obedience if I find a base. Merc has eth partisan insight, a cure helm, and a basic armor with some resists. Looking for a 3 socket elite base for a treachery, but no luck so far. Any advice from you SSF junkies would be appreciated.
