Need opinions on Scion Spectral Throw build

I am creating a pretty run of the mill Scion Spectral Throw/Heavy Strike build.
I would just like some opinions on maximizing my opportunities.
I am not sure if and when i will tkae ccertain notable nodes like Unwavering Stance or Iron Relfexes, I haven't played her enough to see if it would be worth it.

Only level 15 atm, and the only thing that's slightly lacking is mana, while running Hatred.
I am using a 2h sword, will prolly stick two hand, but am not sold comepletely on it yet.

Anyways, any ideas?
Here is me right now: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABMgk26DpSOyhKyFivWlJsRm6qcmx4DZtdqJqpbrXy8pc=


And where I plan to go: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABAdwB5wOWBS0IZwsoFCAYPBkuG_oc5yDwJd8n7SkuMgkyfja6Nug6UjsoPfxAoETnR35KyFBHUFBXDVhjWK9aUl8_YENgS2EhZU1nm2oeajtsRm49bmlul26qcmx07XgNeu98uILkgwmE2YTviq-Mz5ARkzqbXZ65ns2kGacwqBiomqluq8W18rndvSe-ir6nwA_G2M2Y0iHSTdSP2WHexuLq6mLvDvIv8pfynPPd9kj3vvno

I jsut don't really now what to go for first, if i am going for the "right" things, or what.

I ahve had several level 50-60 guys, but I always end up with either dps issues, or elemental resist iissues at the end of cruel/begining of Merci.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Bump
Guess I will just figure it out!
I run double strike and spectral throw. I can't stand the knockback on heavy strike. The only drawback to double strike is when you run into lightning thorns. I have one shot myself against the promenade map boss (er, rather a large statue she cast thorns on).

I would suggest going for resolute technique first. Missing sucks. By Cruel and merciless, having gear with life and resists is most important to me. Being effective means not dying and not taking exp loss. If you have to sacrifice some dps so be it. I highly recommend unwavering stance for more than just not being stunned. It prevents desync, a lot. Say you get stunned but it hasn't registered on your side yet, and you start to move. then it kicks in, you've been stunned. Pretty easy to see wherein the desync lies. As far as iron reflexes go, my understanding is you benefit from +armor nodes on your +eva gear. Def worth it if you have a few eva/hybrid pieces of gear.

Now, at level 87, I run 3 auras; Hatred, Determination, and Grace. A bit overkill, maybe, sitting at 23.5k armor, but it's still an evolving build and subject to change. Having no mana left, I run 5L double strike and 6L spectral throw with blood magic gems.

I know this isn't exactly cheap, but maybe it's something to strive for. I'd estimate my gear and gem values at 60 exa or so, not insane but yeah, not cheap.

Alright, cool, thanks for the feedback!

Thsi is me right now: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgABAecyfjboOlJKyFivWlJuqngNhymbXacwqJqpbrXy8pf3vg==

I am just getting to the point where I have LMP, and mana is a hgue issue now. I ahve 5 free points, so I think I am going to amke my way up to Shaper, see if that helps. Will give 24% more mana and 80% mana regen. And 1% life regen too, which wont hurt.
After that, I don;t know where to go next. I was thinking up towards the Templar area and start working on resists/armor/life nodes. But nto sure.
I was considering the Resolute techniuque, my chance to hit is like 87%, really annoying.

U should definetly drop the single resis nodes u probably wont need them and u will not definetly need that many life leech nodes either.
