"Emphasis mine" refers to me adding bold or italics to a quoted post to put emphasis on a word/sentence. I'm clarifying that it's not how it was originally written, and pointing out what I changed and why.
"Blood Dance gives 7% HP regen, add around 10% from tree, and Vitality, adds up to 20% or so."
His writing isn't perfect, but it's very easy to see he knows Vitality in and of itself doesn't add up to 20% ('adding up to' normally revolves around more than one item, for starters). It's not the fault of his writing that you misunderstood.
Ah.
As to his writing, if he phrases something a certain way, I will understand it in that way. If you misplace, forget, or use to many commas or other punctuation you can easily interpret something in a different way.
For instance:

"...and add around 10% from the tree and vitality adds up to 20% or so."
Due to the lack of commas, the phrase "adds up to 20% or so" is applied to "vitality". Any English teacher will tell you this.
2. "and add around 10% from the tree and vitality, adds up to 20% or so."
With the comma, the phrase in question is separated from "vitality" and completely changes the idea.

Perhaps you should retake English.
The phrase, "...Vitality adds up to...", means that Vitality would be adding the specified amount to something.
The phrase, "...Vitality would raise the total to..." or "...with Vitality, you could get up to...", means that the specified total includes Vitality.
By the way, what do you mean by, "Emphasis mine."?
He probably meant an emphasis on up, like when you say '5 and 3 adds up to 8'. It's correct english but you really need to be certain on what the emphasis is on.
I instantly thought of that since it made no sense otherwise.
I've explained how it is grammatically incorrect.

I'll let you know if you can get around not having a shavronne's. I started out thinking of righteous fire but decided early on that I didn't want to plan on getting up to above level 90 to get all the nodes I wanted, so am switching it to try low life. I'll never have a shavronne's, so was hoping to just be able to get my chaos resists up high enough. I can easily get 33 resist from the tree and it is possible to get another 12 there is I wanted to include life with it. But running with 2 amethyst rings and a getting a bit more resistance on some other pieces should let me get pretty high. I'm just starting Cruel, but I'll let you know how successful the approach can be.
If you plan on going without a Shav's, you'll need at least 1k life to be safe and a solid way of replenishing it for certain bosses or fights. I've found that the snakes in Merciless Act III can two-shot you with 0% chaos resistance and about 700 hit points.
You have completed the achievement "Grammar Nazi", congratulations.
75% chaos resist is much more achievable now though. You can get a ton in the passive tree.
As long as you don't get Zealot's Oath your regeneration plus the Chaos Resist should be more than enough to ignore chaos damage. Even on 500 life or so.
The curious thing about chaos damage is that its base damage doesn't actually seem to be that high. It's just hard to stack chaos resist, which is why its so scary to a lot of people.
Actually, there isn't.
I count a total of 29% chaos resistance from the skill tree. 1x 8%, 2x 7%, 1x 4%, and 1x 3%.
Considering that chaos resistance is hard to roll on items, only two 13% resistance rings, and occasional items that offer it, the most you would get would be roughly 75%, yes.
However, Merciless reduces your resistance by 60%. This means the 29% from your skill tree is negligible, the chaos resistance rings are a must-which draws back on other, more common required resistances and defenses-, and that you must stack more chaos resistance on other pieces of gear.
500 life is nowhere near enough for Merciless Act III.
You forgot the 16% node. That's 45%, not negligible. I just found this, which will be what I can use until I can max resists without it:
Still in cruel, but have 66 Chaos Resist. I still have 7 + 7 that I'm passing by (took the 3), and 8 + 4 available in the tree. Might not be as hard as you think.

Is it possible to run RF and still regenerate more life than you burn for without flasks, unique items, or leeching?
Back to the topic.
Yes, it is possible. You just have to make a lvl 26 purity of fire (item +1lvl gems and +2 fire gems and lvl 3 empower with a lvl 20 aura), get 101% increased aura effect from the tree (+24% buff effect and 77% aura effect) - maybe less, but you get the point, get elemental adaptation and enjov +12% max fire resist just from one aura. So you will have 75 + 2 + 12 = 89% fire resist. When you buffed your auras that much there is no reason not to run Vitality (now about 3%+ life regen) and some life regen picks from the tree.
With some optimizations this character may even be not so gimped as it looks %)
I dont know how is low life possible though i thought the % Life Regen nodes and items are based on your max HP not ES.
So if you have 1k hp 5k ES ,12% of 1000 regen thats only 120hp per sec and u burn around 390HP/sec .

Zealots Oath turns Life Regen into ES regen, so if you have 12% life regen and 5k ES, Zealot's Oath would give you .12 * 5000 = 600 ES regen per second.

I did forget it. My mistake.
The item isn't as uncommon as Shav's, but it's still a unique the majority of players won't be able to get unless it drops.
True. But a body armor can roll up to 30% Chaos resistance. To max Chaos Resist in Merciless you need 135%. If you get 45% from the tree, you need 90% from gear. Using 2 Amethyst rings can get you 26 from the implicit mod. Getting the other 64 can't be that hard when you can get up to 30 on an item and you're going to be wearing Boots, Gloves, Helm, Chest, Belt, 2 Rings, and an amulet. That's 8% per item.
