What stats should I spend my torment shards on?

[Paprika]

Should I go for different stats depending on the hero (and if yes, then which ones would be the best for each?), or should I just dump them into one particular stat that's universally very good on every hero, like dmg or attack speed?

Whatever works for your play style. Obviously damage is great most of the time, but if you are trying to get certain achievements/quests then the other ones can be useful in those situations.

crit chance till you feel its high enough multi , attack speed crit damage. also depends on class. like norseman crit chance and crit damage is far less useful. once u get over 100% crit chance th crit bonus is far better than damage as crit damage applies to each overcrit while damage applies once.

I am also curious and watching this thread cause I've just been dumping it all in damage too

Been dumping it all on either Damage or Effect Damage based on the character. Damage does not boost effect damage, same other way around. You can get everything done with it.

effect damage is dot damage its been nerfed and is probably the worst thing to put it into. most of the time by the time u get dot damage and have it doing good damage u could have killed it with direct damage 10 times over. i would recommend spreading it over attack speed multi crit chance and crit damage. ive had crit chance easily reach over 100% for main attack on most characters and well over 300% on most abilities.when it reaches that point the crit damage bonus is far better than pure damage.

damage as universal buff
bonus crit with archer
multistrike and force with sorceress
force /range /area if i am playing via only main weapon ,using weapon proficiency spread on sage (with amulet - collar of confidence [pull] & gloves - longfinger gloves [boost or growth (no matter)] )
