I'm a newbie myself, but I'm following the guide and having a blast, so I wanted to help you out.
It also seems the OP himself is not caring about this thread, so who knows when he will come back. :(
So I decided to become a little help for you. Hope this helps.

1.
Frenzy charge :

http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blood_rage
Blood rage buff gives you 1 frenzy charge per killing 1 mob.
Thus, you use flicker -> use 1 frenzy per flickering -> kills y amount of mobs -> gains y amount of frenzy.
Go make it easier,

flicker -> use 1 frenzy charge -> kill 1 (or more) mob -> gain 1 frenzy charge -> flicker -> use ~~~ ... and so on and so on.

For power charge :

His Heegemony's era grants 1 power charge for knock-backing monster. With Blunt Trauma skill node ("Knocks back enemies if you crit with your staff"), you will knock back enemies (we are crit build), and Hegemony's era will give you power charge.

You can use Assassin's Mark before you have Hegemony's.

2. This one I can't help, because I'm not OP.

My gems tho, if it helps... currently 78.

Reduced mana - Herald of Ash - Ele prolife - Burning dmg
CWDT - Enduring Cry - Immortal call - Increased duration
Flicker - Multistrike - Melee Splash - Melee physical dmg - Increased crit strike dmg (5Link, because I'm poor and a casual scrub lol)
Blood rage - Assassin's Mark - Blood magic - Portal
Leap slam - Faster Attacks - Purity of Lightning (I'm using Lightning coil) - Reduced mana

OP might use Heavy Strike 5~6 link for single target.

3. For initial frenzy charges : Blood Rage -> Leap slam (kill 1~2 mobs to gain 1~2 frenzy charge) -> curse -> Flicker.

After getting Frenzy charges going -> just flicker around, with curse :D

4. In any build, I usually take life nodes till 50~60, and then start getting dmg nodes.
Reason behind this is that leveling up til Merc is really easy, since you can get carried by the twink gears and weapons. I mean, even a Arc witch can level up with facebreaker + Tabula(or just a 4 link, np) from 1~60, without taking any physical dmg nodes, and it will be super ez mode. I know because I've done it before :)

I did something like...

Starting using blood dance + flickering? Use staff if you want, so let's get some Dex nodes and dmg nodes!
Pretty much lvl 52 or 58, is when the high-base staffs are avaiable. I think I flickered from lvl 52, with a crappy pdps 250-ish staff. But still i was able to clear fast. Mostly because I was using Tabula 6 Link.

Again, this is how I would do it.
I'm lvl 78, and doing pretty much the exact the tree progression I just posted, and I'm having a blast.
