Leeching Spectral throw Scion

I'm planning to start a spectral throw scion with high regen and leech (both life and mana leech nodes from the tree)

I'm not sure if this idea would be HC viable, since the biggest drawback of the build i have in mind, is that it has only around 150% increased life...
But it is a ranged build; it has mana shield (therefor the high mana regen (160% increased from passives) and the mana leech) and the life regen will also be quite good (5.2%)

My planned passive tree: Link (edited)

As you can see the idea is to throw 2-handed swords.
Why swords? Because i like them and the Blade master circle is IMHO really good as well. The focus is physical sword damage and attack speed (higher speed = faster leech as well). I have not gone for RT, since i have quite some dex and i did take some accuracy nodes (or lets say the accuracy was in nodes i wanted or on the way to them) and swords improve accuracy as well.

The build should allow 2 auras (i guess i'll use Clarity and Hatred).

My curses would be Warlords mark (ll and ml) and enfeeble (i plan on getting a unique with +1 curses)

In terms of support i guess i'll go for:
Spectral throw + LMP + Added fire + life leech
If i find/get a 5L i'll probalby use faster attacks as the additional support (i don't think i'll need the mana leech gem, though it could be used as well, if the mana leech from the tree and items and WM won't be enough)

So what is your opinion about this idea?

EDIT: iproved the tree, sinc i missed ion grip completely before :P

EDIT2: new changes to the tree - dropped some attack speed (yes, i dropped the circle i praised so much in the first version of this post :P) for damage/life hybrid nodes

EDIT3: thought about everything again and made further changes to the passive tree.

Good point... I totally forgot about it... I'll probably take it (and it is only 2 points away /facepalm)

Thank you for the reminder :D

Hehe, no problem! :)
My only complaints are that you were so close to thick skin and skipped over berserking

I like the build though, seems like a good plan.
I did a BM Gem version.

For your mod build, why dont get "Mind over Matter"? If you use BM gem, you will have a big mana pool. And 30% dmg reduction to mana seems very nice in hc.
