Dual Daggers (Flicker Strike, Dual Strike) Shadow Problems

Hi guys, ive just gotten into PoE recentley with some freinds before the steam update and we had a playthough but they stopped playing and i just tried to continue on without them but ive been finding it way too hard as im extremely squishy. I use two daggers which are nice and i think ive got some cool gear, as well as this i can dish out tons of damage with multistrike on flicker strike and melee splash on dual strike. The problem is, im way to squishy. Ive got like 554 health and 41 energy shield and on act 2 of cruel at the crossroads i just get destroyed. Im running some really huge potions but even they dont do as i just get nuked down. Here is a list of my current equipped gear:

Mightflay, Flaying Knife (Unique)
Brood Razor, Skeaan (Rare)
Loath Brow, Wolf Pelt (Rare)
Storm Coat, Thiefs Garb (Rare)
Bramble Spiral, Gold Ring (Rare)
Pain Hold, Diamond Ring (Rare)
Vengeance Idol, Gold Amulet (Rare)
Sadima's Touch, Wool Gloves (Unique)
The Magnate, Studded Belt (Unique)
Goldwyrm, Nubuck Boots (Unique)


and for potions im running:

Surgeons Colossal Life Flash of Craving
Saturated Colossal Life Flask of Adrenaline
Seething Colossal Life Flask
Surgeons Quicksilver Flask
Colossal Mana Flask

I never have any damage problems or mana problems, as well as this my daggers give me health on enemies hit which works great with flicker strike and dual strike for some sustain but its just not enough.

The gems im running currently are:

Double Strike (11)
Viper Strike (11)
Ethereal Knives (11)
Frenzy (9)
Blood Rage (9)
Flicker Strike (11) w/ Multistrike (8)
Dual Strike (9) w/ Melee Splash (9) + Added Lightning Damage (11)

I currently do around 671.8 dps normally, but on dual strike i do 1487 and on flicker strike i do 1517.

What advice can you guys give me to change about my character or what i can do to live longer?

You'll need much more life and armour. Then you are less likely to die from any hit because high HP means less likely to get stunned and high armour reduces damage taken.

If you have high evasion... something like 60% of the time they miss (assuming 60% evasion....) but 40% of the time they kill you. For pure EV defense the best you can do is find ways to block (think shields, mostly), and reduce damage taken (think endurance charges).

eventually you may get to a level where CI (chaos innoc'n) is feasible, and then it's a whole new thing.

Your HP is extremely (EXTREMELY) low. You should have at least 1300. 1600 would be better.
