Aegis/BoR Max Block Marauder: HALP!

Hey guys!

Just ripped on Invasion (62, wasn't paying attention, invader with firestorm shit gibbed me); thought I'd refine my build before rerolling it. I'm feeling alright about it, and I have the key pieces I need stashed away (wasn't yet using them when I ripped, thank god), but I was wondering if anyone could help me iron out the inefficiencies, or perhaps give me any advice on how to squeeze more life into the build (currently only 200% life from the tree, which feels too low to me :/). I've detailed the build below; it's nothing revolutionary, but I havn't been "following" a recognised build post so... it might be a little rough around the edges. I know a lot of people like to work spellblock items into max block builds, but with no life on Aegis and low %age life from the tree, it feels hard to justify squeezing in the similarly lifeless spellblock ammy, and I imagine I'll be a bit squeezed for resists too given no resists on BoR, and no chestpiece :/

Anyway, thanks massively in advance if you contribute!
