help with animate guardian build

this is first time I am seriously looking into animate guardian build, dont want to make too many mistakes before I heavily invest in gears.

my goal is to have the AG with damage bonus(leer cast + dying breath) must be able to survive map 14+. tanky is my goal, dps dont care, please give some inputs on my set-up:

6 links -------
AG+minionLife+fortify+min/totem resis+empower(4)+lifeLeech

gears -----------
leer cast => must
dying breath => must
kaom's root +200 life => ?
belly of the beast => ?
south bound => ?


I am debating whether to give it belly of the beast or a rare chest with 150 life plus 25+% chaos resis and other mods because seems like its lacking chaos resis, but I dont know how much life would it lost replacing belly...

any insights appreciated, ty
