No, people are doing Madurai for the Amp energy/regen. Having 60% faster regen and 40% more ammo to use makes taking down the shield a lot faster. The dmg bonuses are nice but nothing like they use to be in 1.0. In 1.0 the passives added 30% IPS to the based stats of the weapon before modification. This meant that if your pure ele weapon had 100 ele dmg base then it would be granted +30 Slash which could then be further modified by something like Fanged Fusillade which brought it to 66 Slash. That meant you would have a 39% chance to proc slash. Now, it is just a flat 25% buff to ele &/or phys which grants no real variety in play.

All that said, Zen is still the best focus school that everyone uses. 5 energy regen and energy orb passive energy regen? Hah, nothing compares. Honestly, DE should just give in and grant 2 passive energy regen by default. It doesn't really compare to the 5 from Zen but it would still be enough to atleast make some people look at other focus trees.
