Most of the Gear is gonna be quite generic, so lets talk about the main things you should focus on for Act 1. This involves your Weapon, Amulet and Boots.
For Weapon look out for One Handed Mace or One Handed Axe.
The advantage of a One Handed Mace is its implicit that allows you to stun your targets much easily, this will come in handy for a Bleed Mastery that grants 50% chance to Aggravate Bleeding on targets you Stun with Attacks Hits . Look for one with as high physical damage as possible, since this is a bleed focused build, the elemental damage will have no effect, other then lightning damage with which you can sometimes inflict shock, increasing your damage.
If you find yourself lacking accuracy, which is bound to happen as you wont be taking any accuracy on tree for start. You can easily rectify this with dexterity on Amulet or any other gear. But the best option for this is
Jade Amulet, which you can quite easily find at vendors.
Lastly every time you finish a quest check vendors for Boots, Sometimes you can find one with 10% movement speed.
Tip: If you are not able to find a suitable upgrade for your weapon and boots. Heres what you can do, For
weapon you can use this vendor recipe: Blacksmith Whetstone + Magic or Rare
Rustic Sash +
Your Weapon, this will return you a weapon that has increased physical damage.
For Boots vendor a
Quicksilver Flask + Any Boots + Orb of Augmentation, in return you will get
boots with 10% movement speed.
