To OP, totally unrelated to your question here, but I took a look at your profile, and a few pointers...

- You generally seem to like using uniques where possible. In PoE uniques arent necessarily better than rares, they just have unique properties, most builds use a couple of uniques and mostly rare items.

- On your hierophant you appear to be going crit, but your weapon has the mod 'Elemental Overload'. this means your critical strikes don't do any extra damage. all of those crit points and gear are wasted.

- I don't get that character anyway, maybe you have given up on it? You seem to be going for totems (Freezing pulse totem is a good build), but aren't using totems?

- If you do keep that character, don't use greater multiple projectiles. First snow jewels give you projectiles for clear, and GMP just reduces your damage. The projectiles don't shotgun so more projectiles don't help vs bosses.

- On your shadow, as mentioned leech doesn't work for spells. None of those dagger nodes you have taken work either. They only work for attacks, i.e when you hit things with the dagger, not spells where you just happen to be using a dagger.

I will preface with a summary of what I said earlier:
- There are a few ways to leech life with "physical spell"
- There is no way to leech mana with any "spell". Only "attacks" can leech mana.

I see the problem is you have low level character but tryna use 6 links. This is very taxing on the mana consumption. You need to be able to tell the difference between "spell" and "attack". "Ethereal Knives" is a spell. It's kinda misleading because of its name, but you can verify it by reading the tags on the gem.

Now to keep things simple, I provide you with a few solutions based on your current situation only. You don't have to pick all solutions, just those that suits you.

First up, your life restoration issues. Here are the solutions:
- Kikazaru ring
- Vitality aura
- Cybil's Paw

Secondly, your mana restoration issues. Here are the solutions:
- Replica Conqueror's Efficiency jewel
- Praxis ring
- Inspiration Support gem (buy from Clarissa or Siosa in Act 3, or Lilly Roth in Act 6)

These solutions are only appropriate for your level currently. As you level up to above 60, you may need something different again.

Also, equipping these items will sh1t on your life and resists so that will create other problems for your character.

Actually... since you have already spec-ed into dagger nodes and have daggers equipped and all, it might easier to solve the problem by just dropping EK, replace with a dagger skill. Here is a list of dagger skills:
