Unwashed ranged classes are a waste of time?

I'm personally going to go Bloodmaster. I do hate that I have to wait longer to HT and PB, but oh well. Since, what, half of my single-target DPS comes from Snipe, I might even dedicate a level or two every 10 levels after the 130 - 140 period to dumping AP into HP. I'm not rich enough to HP wash (and I'm not rich enough ingame to buy godly INT gear), but oh well. I've got more than enough HP for the time being (except for those damn Elderwraiths), and I'll probably have more than enough for whatever I do in the future without bleeding money out the ass.
