I have never played PvP, but my PvM Hammerdin has 8k damage at level 84. Besides hammer, blessed aim and vigor, you should also use the concentration aura, since it's the only one that adds to your hammer damage. Since my Hammerdin is focused on magic find, it has some odd equipment choices, so you may have to adjust for your needs. Wizardspike is a must, since you need to get up to 120% faster cast rate. That way you have lots of hammers flying very quickly. I also use HoZ, Enigma, Shako, Goldwrap, Magefist, Tearhaunch and Natures peace (just because I hate resurrecting monsters and like beating up on Nihlathak...).

I think you should focus on getting more skill levels, especially in Combat since + to skills doesn't work on synergies. That way you will increase your damage even further. I think the 120% faster cast rate cutoff is the best option, since I think the next one is over 200% which restricts your equipment choices. The HoZ and Wizardspike also give you 125% resist all which should help keep you alive against elementalist attackers.
