You can adjust the skill tree but make sure you have cast speed and increase duration

Well, I kinda like that you tried to build up a build with ice spear.
But as yuriy already said, i think there are a lot things you have to optimize.

First of all I don't think that Assasin ascendancy is the right choice for ice spear.
Ice spear offers a really high base crit and well, you can max your crit easily without going assasin.
Of course you couldnt use then Marlenes Fallacy, but well.. compare 240% crit multiplier eg for penetrating all elemental resistances with the Inquisitor Ascendancy.. could be a dmg boost from up to 300% more dmg.

Assasin is a lot better for skills with less base crit like arc.
I personally did a arc build with assasin, ci, dual wielding void battery and getting solo over 260k dps, in parties close to 400k dps and that with arc, what offers a lower base dmg.

In addition, your skill tree isn't as balanced, since it first offers less defence and like zero elemental/spell/cold damage. Only 5 nodes, what gives like 70% cold dmg would increase your dmg by 70% (70% more dmg).. definitely worth it. That's why most crit builds have like at least 150% inc. dmg.

Also you could skip some crit chance nodes, since you dont need them. You get easily 300% crit chance in your skill tree, 250% crit with 5 power charges and would need only 100% crit on equip to gain 95% crit with ice spear.. since ice spear offers 600% inc crit in second form and a base crit of 7%.

Also youre missing Vaal pact.. Crit builds kinda need it to survive reflect.
A bigger healthpool would help as well.
(Would change definitely Hyrri's Irre.. just not worth it).

Maybe you should think about going CI.
You get a lot bigger Life pool (healing potions arent anymore necessary in endgame since vaal pact and leech).
You get more dmg at all, since you dont have to waste so many skill points for life.
But it's more expensive...

Your links for ice spear are a bit weird too.. why using added cold damage, if you could use added crit dmg.. controlled destruction.. Why lmp and not gmp for a better aoe? Also would suggest using life leech gem (it increases your survivability a lot).

Hope you don't take my suggestions negative. Your build idea is nice but lacking in some aspects. :)
