Guys, i have lack of survivability from phys damage. Every single hit from rare ranged/melee mobs or bosses took a half hp, and i didn't know what to do with this moment.

I'm not sure what kind of rare is getting to hit you more than once at 55% slow before dying. Is this like, some hexproof twinned bosses? You may have a terrible case of standing still too much, or just terrible luck. Getting hit for 50% and then immediately clearing our screen isn't a threat. Getting hit for 50% twice is more an exercise in how to use Shield Charge.

Interestingly Swift Affliction and Decay Support (including Controlled Destruction) are not counted in skill bar so neither adding dps nor shown skill icon.

Swift Affliction Support requires Arcane Surge Support for the "duration" modifier to apply to Death Aura.
Decay Support grants a bonus DoT on hits. Hits. We do not hit anything ever (except like, the 50% chance with shield charge, which is a 3-link anyways).
Controlled Destruction Support affects spell damage. Similar to before, Death Aura is not a spell (but Blight and Vaal Blight are). The gem links in the Body Armor are pretty unambiguous - it's either these six, or Item Quantity/Rarity Support.

Thanks in advance, really interested in trying this out, but would like to know the differences (Never played Trickster before, and barely understand Occultist as a ES-centric ascendancy and Trickster as Movement Skill centric ascendancy)

Abyssal Cry is for high-tier content where we want to not die (not dying is like, my second favorite thing in PoE), and hard to deal with monsters such as porcupines, those spinning skeleton cage guys, kitava minions, and guild members. The most accurate way to describe play is "imagine you're following a 2 billion DPS wander on 100 ping, but without the frame drops". Enemies just sorta die beside and/or behind you. If you like the satisfying crunch of hitting bad guys, not a build for you :(

As for ascendancy, the focus for Trickster isn't really about movement skills - that's just a bonus we get for charging everywhere. The REAL boon here is that while we have a slightly lower lifepool than ES builds (6k-ish versus >8k), we regain this back at an incredible rate, and have the ability to run flasks and save ourselves some skill points. Unlike leech, life regen has no cap. Ascendancy nodes x2, Skill Tree nodes, Soul of Arakaali, Essence Drain, and other bonuses turn us into pseudo-righteous fire, but without the reliance on resists. The flat % recovery of life, mana, and energy shield on kill also means we fully heal from packs without needing to use flasks.

Thoughts on shoving MF gear somewhere in here? Boots...gloves..even rings possibly? Could be done by either getting the STR requirement locked on with the chest already on and respeccing nodes/using extra mods on jewels for STR. I've found this build really quick with a brightbeak to shieldcharge everywhere through maps, and lower tier maps everything melts without having to blight it. Seems like trying to MF it might be the next step?

You're absolutely right, but I have neither the patience not spreadsheets to try MFing. Socketing Item Rarity Support into our chest for the 10% loss in damage (or even a pair of Bubonic Trails, coupled with Culling Strike) wouldn't hurt your damage, and we always have Blight for tougher baddies. Go for it, my dude!

Hey man, loving the build by the way. Was just wondering if a heretics veil would fit in nicely with this build?

Personally, I'd say go for it, but if you feel squishy, you know what to replace first. I'm honestly much more interested in Incursion Helms with the "Xopec's" prefix, which offers reduced Mana Reservation - without compromising life or resists. Heretic's Veil is a pleasant item, but the lack of life means we're relying on the reduced mana reservation for Mind Over Matter to pick up the slack. Unfortunately, we are always on full mana anyways. I'll probably consider it more heavily if I find a more even way to create a 'hybrid" build that takes advantage of all the nearby Energy Shield nodes on the Skill Tree.
