I have not played much amazon but my advice would be to wait until you find a hydra bow.

I believe the following to be correct:

A crossbow will never go below 3 frames per attack with strafe.

A shadow bow needs 23% ias with lvl 12 fanaticism and a hydra bow needs 39% to reach 2 fpa.

So imo there is no reason to choose lower damage here, 40% ias is easy to get.

edit:

Just checked and a Grand matron bow also needs 39% ias to reach 2 fpa, and that one does even more damage, with the added benefit of extra skills, so wait for one of those.
