I'm planning on using Kaom's Roots for the Uber Elder fight. I have a couple questions:
* What gem setup should I remove to be able to use Kaoms? Is there any specific gem setup change that you recommend for the uelder fight?
* What are your thoughts about Arctic Armour?
* I see that you also recommend Winterweave. Do you think it's a must have? My DPS decreases around 10% with it :(
* What's the best boots enchant for the uelder fight?
* Soul of Arakaali and Gruthkul are good for the fight or should I swap the pantheon?

For anyone having issues with damage against bosses, this build is perfect for just swapping Reave, ruthless and crit chance gems with blade flurry, added ele damage and concentrated effect. And then multistrike for perhaps added fire damage.
You'll rip open both Shaper and Elders buttholes with this setup.

Damn, so everytime Immortal Call triggers we get the 4 seconds increased regen? That's nice.
Didn't thought of the fact that self induced DoT could also trigger it.
Maybe make that clear in the Guide for dummies like me :D
I don't think it has to do with Immortal Call (you might be confused because Immortal Call discharges Endurance charges, but Blood Rage grants Frenzy Charges, and when Immortal Call is activated, it doesn't stop the effect of Blood Rage).
Blood rage deals Damage over time (that lasts ~10s unless you kill a monster while it's still active). When Blood rage is over, you get 50% increased recovery rate of life because of Arachnoxia.
I'm not too confident that's a big deal though. We don't want Blood Rage to be over anyway, so ideally we wouldn't have the benefits of Arachnoxia very often.
The Damage over time from Blood Rage stops if Immortal Call is triggered because it's physical damage, hence you stopped taking Damage over time.
So Arachnoxia should be in effect.
//EDIT
Tried to test it. Casting IC when BR is active triggers Arachnoxia! https://gfycat.com/ScarceAmusedHalibut Look at Energy Shield Recharge per Second.

Cast When Damage Taken level 1 - Immortal Call spams us with physical damage immunity. Enfeeble curses enemies to do a lot less. Cold snap chill enemies, making them attack and move 30% slower. This setup gives you massive defensive bonuses.
Vaal Cold Snap This freezes / chills everyone close to you AND while you have an enemy close to you, you gain a frenzy charge each second. This is socketed in Cast When Damage Taken. It does not use the Vaal version when you take damage, but it does can be used normally.

Yes. CWDT at level 1 supports any linked gem requiring level 38 or lower. That is why:
Is Outmatch and Outlast purely for the DPS increase? I'm having trouble figuring out how one maintains endurance charges, especially when later on we're to switch to a stat-stick offhand and won't be killing things with the offhand.
