Dual Wands - Power Siphon Build Attempt

Hello, this is my first real attempt on a build. I've messed around with several characters and tried other builds online, but here is my first build from the ground up. I would appreciate any suggestions to this build.

Goals for this build:
*High attack speed
*High crit chance
*Low mana consumption
*Easy to play
(Not sure if I accomplished the low mana consumption part)


Gems:
*Power Siphon (This will be our main damaging skill)
Support Gems:
*Faster Attacks
*Life Leech
*Chain
*Added Fire Damage
An option is to have Chain and Lesser Multiple Projectiles but that lowers your damage by a considerable amount.

*Summon Skeletons - These guys will be the meat shield... or bone shield.
Support Gems:
*Spell Totem
*Minion Life (Optional)
*Minion Speed (Optional)

*Blood Rage - For getting Frenzy charges. (With CI you will not take any damage)

Curse:
*Warlord's Mark - For the life leech, mana leech, and endurance charges.

Auras:
*Anger
*Wrath
*Discipline (Warning: high mana cost)
Support Gem:
*Reduced Mana

*Discharge (Optional) - Since this build will be getting all of the types of charges, this may be a useful skill to pick up.


Gear:
2 Wands with high physical damage, added elemental damage, and attack speed.
Stack high Energy Shield and Max Mana.
Resistances (of course).


Finally, the passive tree:

The biggest problem I see right now with this build is the lack of increased mana nodes, but I'm hoping the % mana leech can make up for mana consumption.

Thanks for checking out my build, I will make updates to it if needed and I am currently leveling a shadow with this build.

Feed back is appreciated!

I currently have a level 78 build very similar to yours.

It's a very strong build and very gear dependent. To make up on the lack of mana nodes you want use reduce mana gems for just about everything. You also need +mana on a good amount of your gear.

I myself use 4 reduced mana gems total, 1 for my armor and 3 for the auras I have.

Here's my setup of what I currently use:

AOE and Crowd Control
5L/6L Armor: Power siphon + Faster attacks + Crit dmg + LMP + Reduce Mana (+ Accuracy)

Single target and Bosses
4L Boots: Ele hit + Crit Chance + WED + Item rarity

Curses
3L Wand: Conductivity + Crit Weakness + Warlords Mark

Auras
4L Helmet: q16 Reduce Mana + Wrath + Discipline + Grace
4L Gloves: q10 Reduce Mana + Decoy + Haste + Hatred
3L Wand: Reduce Mana + Blood Rage + Clarity

Auras Levels (w/ level goal)
Wrath (lvl 16-max)
Clarity (lvl 10-15?)
Discipline (lvl 10-20?)
Grace (lvl 5-10?)
Haste (max)
Hatred (max)

I always run 5 auras minimum and switch between both Wrath and Hatred respectively.

Thus far, the only cons of this build is the costs of equipment and low accuracy. Finding the perfect wands can cost you 4-10 ex.

I think you will have fun with this build. Message me in game if you have any questions. :)
