Incinerate scales best through cast speed, and it also lets you reach max. stacks faster which is helpful against targets that require moving. Coordination & Harrier both give only half the amount of cast speed, if you'd take both you'd spend 1 pt more than taking Nimbleness.

Dexterity is pointless for us. The tree already gets enough Dex for all gems/gear, Spells aren't affected by Accuracy and Evasion% Bonus from Dex doesn't count towards Iron Reflexes.
Movement speed from Harrier is nice, but we move mainly with Lightning Warp anyway, which gets affected by the additional Cast Speed from Nimbleness.

Going through the Frenzy Charge doesn't save points, you'd have to drop Void Barrier and the very important +30 Str node. If you'd still take Void Barrier it will take the exact same amount of points, just that you lose 1% Cast Speed (Frenzy Charge gives 5%) and 20 Str.

Last but not least, said Nimbleness Cluster is only a very high level option anyway, a level most players will probably not bother to reach.

With a few adjustments, I managed to do atziri fairly comfortably (my first time ever!). I took with me rathpith, alphas howl (rrbb), PoL, PoF, and Blind. I replaced cast on stun with spell echo for perma immortal call. For double vaal, i slotted in pol instead of herald, by using an alphas howl which allowed me to heal easily from the constant sparks. For trio, i used the normal setup with manual immortal call, kill titty, dual striker, cyclone and used perma immortal call for no issues. For atziri fight, i use alphas howl and run pol pof discipline clarity, herald of ice. I swap in the rathpith for extra spell block (cant use saffells as I take too much from spears) and swap faster projectiles for blind to pretty much always stop spears, and i was able to facetank fairly easily. It's quite an annoying setup to constantly switch, but it gets the job done nicely
