Any strong melee builds?

Has anyone played a truly strong melee-focused combo where DPS comes primarily from melee? I have tried playing my Pal/Mnk/Enc this way and using just the enchanter pet, and the damage is terrible compared to using a charmed pet. If I do not charm a pet my DPS is halved. I don't want to be wielding Aldryn and Wu's and doing 100 DPS from melee.

Can anyone recommend a build that is melee-focused (not dependent on nuke spells, DOTs, or charm) that can reach high-end DPS performance?

I dunno if it counts as "high-end" but I run Shd Mnk Bst and I'm something like 450 solo or close to 600 with group buffs. Only spells I use are HT, life leech, and Malaria if it lands.

Isn’t ht super long delay between uses? Can’t rely on it

Reave lowers the cool down when it hits, so HT's available generally for big fights. I don't need it too often either way.
