Help: 1st build - Melee Splash + Double Strike

I unlocked the Scion 1-2 days ago and I wanted to try to "re-make" my current Templar build with a Scion (the Templar is still 47 but the Scion's location seems like a better starting one)

The build idea is:
- As much Increased Area of Effect as possible
- One Handed + Shield
- As much block as possible
- As much Attack speed as I can get my hands on
- Double Strike + Melee Splash + Life Gain on Hit

This is what I got so far for a lv70-ish build

Somewhat sum'ed stats
- STR 130
- DEX 70
- INT 170
- Increased Area of Effect +52%
- Block +24%
- Increased HP +122%
- Increased Physical Damage +90%
- Increased Elemental Damage +40%
- Increased Attack Speed +46%
- Resistances +48

=================================================

I am not really sure what's the end game (in other words if the HP will be enough, will the lack of armor/evasion kill me faster than expected and etc, will the DPS be enough).

The only glaring problem I can think of is the lack of DEX but I guess I can use Heavy Strike or something else for the 1v1 fights and Double Attack + Melee Splash for the groups of mobs.

Any suggestions ?

Resists are quite a lot easier to get on gear, +48 from tree is kind of overkill. And on the other hand, 122% increased HP is not at all enough. Minimum 150%, closer to 200% is much better.

You can also get more block to reach the 75% cap.
