Herald of Thorns – CwDT + Punishment + Shackles (a SC viable alternative to Scold’s or CoC)

Hmm you opened a new kinda of ideas I like, have you tried using EK to reflect more physical damage on yourself? Could possibly add more cwdt set up with Ek's and scale them with spell and phys to grant more reflect. You would lose out on a bit of defense through freezing but could definitely get crazy amounts of eks x)

How about more cast speed (e.g. Spell Echo) so your skills trigger more often?
Maybe make a curse on hit setup for your initial curse.

Cool concept, but it's hard to determine whether the additional spells are even impacting the gameplay that significantly versus GC just doing the work. P.S. link GC as one of your CWDT spells, too
