not sure if Geofri's Crest would be better.

Not quite sure about barrage with CoC SRS - does it make them spawn in meleerange or at your position?

Also that's not much crit nor a lot of life - I'm at 94.3% crit which 4 charges atm.

Edit: I like the idea of triggering EK and SRS. Could have some potential.
Edit2: played around with the tree a bit after doing some calcs regarding the optimal dps per spirit.
93% inc life is a bit too low, isnt it?
Patch 1.3 - never forget the big qq!

this are the item i have ATM. Im level 76.

Spoiler


and this is the tree im planing to use
http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgAAA5YD7gceDkgPqxGWFSAWvxcvGYoajx2-IuImlSftKk0vbzBUM4c1kjY9Nuk7KDwtPT4_Jz-bQYdH4klRSshRTFM1VUtV1lltWfNakV3yX5hgQ2HiYqxk52aeaqxsjG1sbj1uqm-ecFJwVnC7cNVyqXf9fVt-vYCkgseDCYnTjAuP-pAbkFWSfZUul_6Yb5oTm7WdqqQ5qH2sR6yqtfK3Prl8wBrDOsT2xq7KSs8y0IHT-9i92RPb1Nwj42rjhOXP6hjsGOyw8NX22vcy-ej60vsJ_go=

If the calculator i used is right i get around 600.000 DPS with 50 spirits and its not to hard to get that :D.
The life is a bit low but im using Lightning Strike so i can keep my distance and with Thief torment i can get allot of hp back very quick.

Did some math for the optimal usage of Vagan's dagger.
I'll just copypaste my notes in here, I think this is.. plain awesome.

Spoiler

tl;dr

!TOTAL CRIT NUMBERS ARE WITH 4 POWER CHARGES!
1010% total crit for getting 90% with a golden/copper kris w/ +26% local crit.
1030% total crit for getting 90% with a golden/copper kris w/ +24% local crit.
1010% total crit for getting 90% with a fiend/imp dagger w/ +26% local crit.
Drop critnodes when getting over 90% with 4 power charges.

Goal: Hit 90% crit w/ 4 powercharges while using Vagan's dagger. Can reach up to 100% crit this way with usage of 15+/0+ AssMark & 13+/20 CoH.

NEEDED: 13+/20 CoH & 15+/0+ AssMark & 18+/(20) CoC

BE AWARE THAT THIS ONLY TAKES CRIT FROM DAGGER, TREE AND Q20CoC IN ACCOUNT.
ADJUST TREE FOR CRIT ON GEAR - DROP CRIT/ACC HYBRID FIRST.
ALSO I DID NOT TEST THIS YET - I HAVE NO IDEA IF OUR MANALEECH IS GONNA BE ENOUGH.
____________________________________________________________
golden/copper kris - 7.1% crit 80% implicit
1010%
(1030%)

local crit needed on dagger:
+26%
(+24%)

+27% - can drop 10%
(+27% - can drop 30%)
____________________________________________________________
fiend/imp dagger 7.1% crit 60% implicit
990% crit
(1010% crit)

local crit needed on dagger:
not possible to get 90%
(+26%)

(+27% - can drop 10%)




What do you think? :)

REALLY IMPORTANT EDIT
Spoiler

It works. Leech is enough. I still miss quality on the gems, therefore a bit of crit, but never missing is AWESOME. For refence, here's the dagger.

One _could_ craft one with higher pdmg, atspd 'n stuff, but I don't think it's worth doing that with a 60% implicit dagger. When I get a Vagan's Copper/Gold Kris I'll totally craft at least additional atspd on it - with Elreon meta, because it's the cheapest way to get the exact stats I want.

All this sounds AMAZING!!!
I have to invite Vagan to HO ASAP to try the dagger. It save accuracy points on tree and increase number of spirits!

PS
With this tree you gain:
+30% crit chance
+16% AS
+6% MS

But you will loos some dps (from crit multi) but with low damage dagger it seems good deal.

The tree you made looks great, tho it is 10% crit over what's needed which puts us at 91% w/ 4 charges.
(calced for the weapon i currently have. better weapon means more critnodes can be dropped)
But I guess we can keep that since bosses have reduced curse effect.
Are we just losing 86% multi?
Could still be just enough to keep shocking.

EDIT

Alright, shocking works.
I've adjusted the tree you made out of my planned tree - dropped 4% block since I capped w/o Purity now and can run Tempest Shield again. Also I dropped one 8% mana node and a 5% life node to get into Survivalist. The whole cluster gives 14% all res, +1% max cold and 48% inc ev. I'd say that's worth losing the health.




EDIT#2 TESTING LS AND HATRED

Made a few changes again.
Started running LS-MStrike-CoC-SRS as my trigger attacks, reasoning is simply better shockchance.
Also I tested Hatred w/ CwDT FO, it works. There's a chance that the trigger won't resolve, but we aren't at 100% crit all the time. It's basically just an awesome DPS increase for our SRS. I don't think that's possible with MS/Cyclone though. Hatred also acts as an additional layer of defense thanks to the freeze/chill.
With my LS setup it's perfectly possible to hit the maximum amount of SRS w/o GMP.
srs cap screen (twinned colonnade)



All in all the clearspeed feels faster and, most importantly, safer.


EDIT#3 - TESTING WITH EE AND GENEROSITYHATRED

That's what I came up with a few minutes ago. I dropped manaleech off of HoT, started to run Hatred on Generosity and spec into EE.
So far so good, I'm currently just testing the shocks.
As far as I can see there is not that much off a difference in 25% light dmg.


EDIT#4 - RESULTS

Don't use EE. Don't use Hatred w/ Generosity. Totally not worth.
Patch 1.3 - never forget the big qq!

if you ran blood rage and your minions killed the mob do you get the frenzy charge? same for assassins mark? do you get the power charge?
No,
But I have good dps on cyclone so I can kill some mobs myself. That why I'm almost always on max charges.

Looks like 1.3 will nerf this build to the ground :(
my builds:
- COLB (Cast On Last Breath) first ever build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1632595
- the Flash: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1367774
- the oro's bridle build: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1409823
The 1.3 Patch is a big nerf(Less crit chance/Les SRS damage/CoC delay).
But i still think my build can survive only the damge wil be lower and it's a bit harder to get 50 spirits. If the dps calculator was right i could get 600k dps with 20/20 gems and a 21 srs. That wil be 550k at best after the patch.

Tip: Vagan dager are very powerfull in CoC(Chance to hit is rolled twiche for a crit if one of them fails its not a crit).
Example: with 85% to hit and 60% to crit you'r effectife crit chance is:
.85*.85*.6=43,3 crit chance
