Advice on build progression please

Hello,

I have been levelling up a Templar (lvl 36 currently) and so far have been using the following,

Energy Shield for defence (intend on getting CI later)
Primary attack is spark with spell totem using freezing pulse
Using 1h quartz scepter for the +20% elem dmg and a 1h ES shield.

Currently I haven't invested any points in element specific damage but I am starting to lean towards cold damage instead of lightning.

I originally intended on a caster lightning Templar and I am really just winging it with my passives.

I am after some advice of whether I am heading down a lost path and should swap now before it is too late.

I was playing around with the Skill Tree and I was thinking something like this for end game.

This would involve me swapping to armour/ES and picking cold damage as my primary. I know what I have linked is very very end game however it shows the kinds of nodes I was planning on putting points into. I think at the moment I would priorities survivability over damage to make life a little easier for me.
Any advice is appreciated.
