Werebear Hunger and Oak Sage/HoW

So I am going down the Hunger path for Hardcore Werebear tank. I plan on going this route with my skills -

20 Lycan
20 Werebear
20 Hunger
10 Shockwave

Pre-req:

1 Werewolf
1 Maul
1 Feral Rage
1 Fire Claws

My question is - should I max Oak Sage or Wolverine? If I maxed Oak Sage my life would be insane. The only reason I am considering wolverine is because it would give bonuses to damage which in turn helps my hunger leech more life. Anyone have any thoughts on which would be a better choice for Hardcore? Stick with the constant life bonus in Oak or use Wolverine to make sure I am always topped off while attacking with Hunger?

For HC, Oak. Even with Shockwave you're gonna need more safety.

Yeah, that is what I was leaning towards...just wanted some reinforcement.

Thanks.

So this is a pretty physical only damage build. What do you suggest I do to handle the physical immunes? Get a weapon with elemental damage? Was maybe thinking a cold arrow merc from act 1 as well.

I am leveling with my brother who is doing a wolf/fire claws build but we don't always get to be on at the same time.

Twinked or Untwinked? If twinked: A high elemental damage weapon or a weapon with ctc amp on it. If untwinked: Jeweled weapon until you find a decent weapon with amp on it.
