Pretty sure you're gonna want the mana reservation efficiency, unless you're not currently using vitality, in which case take the +50 life and use an orb of regret to swap it later.

I already have updated the guide for 3.21 which starts on April 7. In 3.21, the mastery node with mana reservation for Vitality doesn't exist anymore (which is why the new screenshot doesn't show that mastery anymore).

If you want to play the build before 3.21, I highly recommend using this PoB or this screenshot which is for the current version (3.20) of the game.

I watch a few starter build creators like Zizarian or PoM and from my PL backyard. Everywhere there is information that TR PF will have DPS and will be Tanky. Maybe it's worth thinking about changing to PF from Duelist?

I would argue that the Pathfinder version has (a bit) more damage (scaling), but has less survivability than the Duelist version. Due to the fact that this guide is dedicated to new players, I favor the Duelist version since having more defences helps new players more than having more damage, in my opinion.

On top of that, there are options to bring the Duelist version near the damage numbers of the Pathfinder version while still remaining tankier (there is a dedicated milestone for that in the guide).

That being said, there's nothing wrong with playing the PF version, especially because it has been reworked. But for the sake of this guide, I will stick to the Duelist ;)
