7 points for Vaal Pact might be optional in the early progression but it's by far strongest defense mechanics when combined with Cloaked in Savagery.

Yea, it is totally late game stuff. Now I am just thinking I should drop Vitality Void and see if Pain Reaver alone will suffice for heals against tough bosses. With Doryani, that will be 1.2% leech only until I either kill something (+2%) or get a savage hit (+100%).

Frost Bomb might fit in your CWDT links (another -20% cold resist) if you don't have any gems to use.

I considered that as well, but decided not to go that way because:
Cold Pen support gem - 37%
The Pandemonius amulet - 20% (you have it always because of Aquamarine Flask)
Fangs of Frost - 8%
Primeval Force - 5%
TOTAL - 70% penetration

Plus I am usually running Frostbite (on shield charge) just for the freeze chance, but it should top it off. I was rather thinking I will pick a different curse anyway.

Atziri's Promise is the first thing comes into my mind.

Fair enough. You can try w/o Frostbite anytime to see how reducing resists actually helping the damage.
