How to Endgame as 2H Molten Strike?

Hi there. This is the second Molten Strike Marauder, and this time I wanted to follow the Herald of Ash + Elemental Proliferation route to see what kind of shenanigans I could get up to.

It does pretty well, but I need suggestions for other skill to use in the endgame. I've got decent equipment, but I've been dying an awful lot, and I have pretty low armor (~5k before Grace)

My skill tree (I recently redid some points to get Endurance charges):

So my question is, what now?
How do I get 5k+ life?
How do I get enough armor to feel safe?
Do I need to ditch the staff and swap over to 1h+shield?
Are Vengeance and Riposte well used here?
Will I ever be able to farm Atziri with this build (or derivative thereof)?
Is there any way to ditch Iron Reflexes and still be viable? (This would also mean giving up Grace)
