Those builds you just mentioned were one's that badly needed a toughness buff but still plenty are just buffs to damage, I'm betting the forums will be littered with people saying they have the damage to go higher but survivability is an issue.
It still won't be that easy to get to GR 100, everything will need to go right for you. Most of what's changing are buffs to damage but the mitigation on most are still the same so even if you can go a couple of tiers higher your chances of survival will be slimmer.
Like most seasons the WD is always a fast leveler and it has the Helltooth set as it's Haedrigs gift which 4 pieces of the set will get you past GR20 (T4), which is really what it's all about.
Like has been mentioned try to have resistances on everything especially all res, but try to have phys res higher. Life per kill on as much as can, when shadow power is on your LoH should be at least 70,000. Game style is you can have vengeance on full time with numlock but keep FoK and wolf companion off, use them when you vault into the lead elites face as the element that you're comes around on CoE (preferably cold).
While the Lightening Hydra is impressive still doesn't beat the damage from the Archon disintegration beam which means that as a bit of extra DPS while kiting I found I gave up too much to add the second Hydra via the Serpent sparker wand.
I copied your build the other week and while it is ridiculously fast the control of DS at that speed and issues with RCR I thought just going with the WD chicken with bonus speed items like warzechian armguards etc makes it easier just to put together and run with.
Years of war is basically finishing 6 different sets at T12 level, that's pretty easy and boss mode you just need 2 others to act as runners for you and each take it in turns getting the conquest.
I generally set my follower up for the RG with the enchantress and blinding sand sword (38% blind) or Templar with Eun jang do (20% below life freeze), justice lantern and freeze of deflection (provided I'm not using unity). I always set up with max possible CDR and AS on any follower gear.
While it is true that certain items are programmed harder to get than others eg, Rimeheart, wand of woh are about 1% chance while Leorics crown is about 5% and others are guaranteed to be in bounties, nothing is lower than that except for finding Princess Lillian.
There items that will drop earlier in the game as you're not expected to have the full set yet. Pig sticker can roll up to 30% dmg against half the enemy types in the game, Tyrael's Might rolls with up to 20% dmg against demons which is what RG's are, so between those 2 items you have a healthy dmg buff against 3 quarters of the games monsters including RG's.
I believe if you want an item you just can't seem to get hold of you need at least 16 rares and mats worth (400 of each) and upgrade all of them in a row so you give RNG a chance to get around to what you want. I've found if you break the upgrade sequence and come back to it again then you will get the same easy to get items up first again.
I tell people the same sort of advice. As a comparison, I did about 80 upgrades of 2H mighty weapons to get the one I wanted in ancient.
I wouldn't upgrade rares with the aim of getting ancient, I'd go just for the item and then re roll it half a dozen or so times to make it an ancient.

Standard WoL monk with SoJ and Unity as the rings and CoE in the cube and any item that has fire damage. I was quite surprised how easily I did the conquest and how easy it is to put together.
just salvage whites and greys as you get 9 mats per item as opposed to (3 for blue and 1 for yellow).
Then put all your white mats in the cube with 1 yellow or blue item and db's and the cube will take 1 db and 100 white mats and the item and give you 100 of the same coloured mats as the item.
Saves needing 100 yellow items for 100 yellow mats, now 11 white items and 1 db and 1 yellow makes 99
Note. For some reason this doesn't work with follower relics.

For db's go with public rifts and solo rifts using nemesis bracers, for veiled crystals look at pg 7 of the cube recipes.
