Shadowy Wands - Good or Bad build?

Hello, I would like to start a discussion about Wander. I decided to take shadow as a wand user, because he has the most important att speed notes close enough. I decided to use one wand with shield. As a primary defense i take Armor + ES. I have planned to use high phys wand, with some elemental damage.
Here is my current progress(lvl 30)

In future, i would use attack speed bobus from bandits followed by power charge at merciless.
60 points i plan to spend like this:

Skill usage:
Power Siphon + LMP + Faster Attacks + ? + ? + ?
Clarity + Reduced Mana
Wrath + Anger + Reduced Mana
Warlord's Mark + AoE + Increased Duration + Reduced Mana
Thinking about BM gem on something.
Advantages:
- Relative good Damage output with fast attacks
- Not relative expensive gear
- Good survivability provided with many life nodes + armor and ES
Disadvantages:
- Mana issues
- Problem with swarming monsters(like vall docks boss)

Check it, think about it. Im accepting any advantages about this. Thank you for viewing this post.

After skimming over your final build link, Few things

166% max hp seems little low when you get towards endgame, something more along the lines of 200% or more e-shield would be ideal

And as you mentioned, dealing with mobs is tough, I ran a power siphon build before and fighting necros is very difficult

Here's a few tweaks I put in, there's plenty of room for improvement though

(heavily lightning based because shock stacks are great and did not include much cold damage because a shattered corpse means you can't proliferate)

Power siphon + lmp + elemental damage + proliferate + ?



Edited: threw some more hp in it because why not
