You shouldn't be having any trouble with Duriel. I'd spend all my excess gold trying to gamble a Tancred's halberd, as your weapon is pretty pathetic for a melee druid. You'll want to prioritize speed over most everything on your weapon(it must be on weapon IAS, aka WIAS). Also, stop pumping fury and work on your life buff skills for now(lycan/oak). Don't forget to 1pt maul if you haven't already.
Socket that halberd with at least one amethyst, 55% IAS will put you at 5fpa fury(I'd throw a skull in the other socket personally, for ML). As for the source of early amp, a 5% CTC lv5 amp weapon on switch is really your only option early on(you can't use curses in SS form). I'd either shop a blue CTC amp scythe(and throw a couple amethyst in it) or start IDing any rare fast base speed weapon. You probably won't even need amp for him anyway if your gear is decent, though obviously it's going to make the fight much easier.
Deaths combo, 2x cathans rings, and Tancred's halberd is all you really need. You should be able to leech just fine even without amp. If you're going to craft anything, I'd shoot for a blood crafted helm first and foremost(automods include 2-4%ll, 10-20%DS, and some life). Early sources of deadly strike are pretty tough to get on a druid. Maybe try to fit in clegclaws gloves(33% DS) if you don't really need the LL and resist bonus from death combo. Uhh, I think that's about it, probably rambling now.

Considering farming gold/levels till 33 and gambling up a bonesnap..
Bad idea. Not only is gambling uniques generally a waste of money early on, but bonesnap will be terribly slow on a melee druid. I'd google about the mechanics of fury and read up on 'em if you're unfamiliar.

Farm death knight, get a wormskull.
Your advice is pretty spot on, but a wormskull, really? That helm is pretty much worthless. I'd shoot for duskdeep or even a coif of glory over that(ideally a blood helm, but that's a tough cookie in A2 norm). Also, farming DK isn't really a viable option for an untwinked melee druid.
