Playing some HC, need some help.

I plan on doing htis build, not sure how viable it is.

I was curious what you guys use to level ect, he has the order of gems there but I've never played a long term melee in HC so I'm just curious what you recommned for use as you're leveling, I want to do a high/max block with reasonable clear speeds build as I am HC. Presently I'm using Molten strike.

Edit : Plus any general tips as a melee, I'm rather new to this game (beta tag doesn't mean anything experience wise lol)
