Would like some help on an EK build.

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new here and wanted to adapt a lot of different EK builds into my own playstyle, and I'd like to hear your opinion on a build I have in mind, and if there's any shortcuts I forgot to take or better options, for you surely are a lot more experienced than I am;

As you can see, this is a crit-heavy build for EK and am planning on having CoCS, ICS, ICD, Life Leech and Added Fire Damage to my EK. Since I picked Blood Magic, I figured I needed the life-leech skill gem and a decent amount of life.

However, considering the amount of crit chance I'll have (~50%+ at least), I am afraid I might auto cast myself to my death. I did attempt to alleviate this with -mana cost passives, but I am unsure if that would be enough.

Some feedback on this would be great, it's basically a mix between the danmaku ranger build and some traits from ZiggyD's without, obviously, the auras. (http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/619533)

I am wondering how viable this build would be, or whether it's better to just go for a lot of mana regen and throw in some aura's.

I cut quite a bit of shortcuts on the bottom, took out some life regens for more max life and mana cost reductions.

Looks different on the marauder side now, I believe this is a tad more efficient build. But am wondering how survivability will be at the end-game.
