Haven't played too much with PoB yet, since it was not supporting the abyssal jewels.
The main difference is that this build makes intensive use of the abyssal uniques and jewels, introducing also a Cast on Crit setup.

Prob now is able to use abyss jewel already and the unique gear
Maybe u need update it

I updated the PoB link.
The AVG damage of the spell portion of Volatile Dead (full buffed and flasked, supported with both Concentrated Effect and Elemental focus) is precisely 74.254 damage.
Considering you attack 4 times per second and every time you create 4 balls, equal a total spell dps from volatile dead of 74.254*16=1.118.064 damage.
Essentialy you have something like 1.1kk dps from volatile balls, plus cremation damage, plus all the corpse based explosions; you also ignore resists most of the times, so it doesn't get too much lower even against big bosses (shaper and stuff).

Mate(s), Best Way to lvl it?

If you already own two Poet's pen, just use precisely the same endgame setup from level 12 or so (as soon as you can equip them with the corpse related gems).
If you do not own them, you can either level with selfcast desecrate+spell cascade and volatile dead+spell cascade (the more link available you have, the more support gems you add, like controlled destruction and so on) or with a combination of freezeing pulse (with the 2 related threshold jewels), firestorm, flame totem and fire trap. You just chose a combinatio of these, like firestorm and flame totem, or freezing pulse and flame totem, and reach lvl 60+ easily.
If you can afford the usual spellcaster levelling gear it's even better (wanderlust, goldrim, lifesprig and that kind of stuff).

I just wanted to thank you for this build! I really like abyss jewels and was looking for a build that uses all the abyss jewels in the world. Also one of the easiest and most fun way to level up when u can play your build somewhere from lvl 16. Started this build yesterday and already killed red elder today really easily. Probably the most fun i had since the first time i played fakener back than. Great guide and amazing build concept! Cheers

Updated some stuff here and there.
Changed some jewels and items; major changes are a poet's pen with culling strike implicit, a ring with Herald of Ice and Volatile Dead 21/20.
I tried going dual curse with Warlord's and Assassin's mark (both on rings affixes), but in the end it was probably not worth.
Added a short video showcasing the four guardians and shaper kill (with final RIP while he was dropping a Starforge, that few minutes later I actually 6 linked.. But that's another story) and a FAQs section.
Updatet also the informations about the attack speed bug occurring with Poet's Pen.

I have been playing with this build for a few days, need to work on my abyss gems a bit but would you be willing to take a look and let me know how I can improve it or if I missed anything

Your setup is pretty good.
- As you already said, you can improve most of your jewels, try to find ones with life, damage and mana/resist; those are not so cheap and common though, so there's no hurry, just check the market whenever you can and improve them gradually.
- I prefer the consacrated ground route of the inquisitor, I believe it gives you much more utility and comparable damage. You are also missing the last 2 ascendency points.
- Probably you can drop that +30dex node between templar and witch. You do not need to level your frenzy up to level 20, since it doesn't matter at all for our build.
- I do not like the flasks you are using, but that's mostly personal preference. In the flask discussion (in the gear paragraph of the guide) I tried to explain which are the best ones in my opinion. Wise Oak is a cool flask, the damage it gives you is almost negligible (since you ignore resistances most of the times), but the defensive effect is nice to have in some istances. I thought about it for a bit, in fact I keep all 3 resistances at the same value just in case. I haven't done the math about your resistances, but if they are not all equal you should not use it.
- Both rings can be improved, but that's not really mandatory to do at this moment, since they get pretty expensive. Same goes for the helm enchant.
- Levels and quality of the some gems can be improved here and there, but not something to rush.
