No. Anything that triggers "if you've used xxxxx" requires using it manually.

Are there any legacy uniques to look for for this build in the next league?

Nothing major. Legacy Astramentis had the implicit mod going up to 20 stats. Legacy Perandus Signet had 3% Int bonus and 3% xp bonus. Of course, to be worth using the legacy Perandus you need a +1 curse Astra (so its implicit doesn't matter then).

Hi Kelvynn awesome guide Im a bit confused why your gear shows a life leech gem if we go CI

There is a passive (ghost reaver I think) that applies life leech to ES.

Noob question (that I'm almost too embarrassed to ask):

Icestorm stacks with itself right? Even if you cast it again before the last one ends?

Longer spell duration = more damage, correct?

I know the answer must be 'yes', but I had to ask :)

I re-did a character in stnd over the weekend testing this build and even though the gear was iffy, gems not leveled up all the way (most of them), she did remarkably well even in t12 maps. I am thinking of using it or something similar in new league and I have to say I liked what I saw.

Yes indeed. You appreciate that even more when you kill the boss 3 seconds after you die from the left-over icestorm...
