I changed some points around in order to Gain:

+18% dual wield block
Acrobatics + Spell dodge + Arrow Dodge (If this doesn't work out it's a quick fix back to IR)
15% attack speed


I sacrifice:
IR
Some crit, I will make up for this with power charges (see gems)
some HP
Aura buffs (don't care much about aura's)


Basically, the plan is to maximize my use of CWDT by getting hit rarely but when I do get hit it will trigger a higher level CWDT easily. high attack speed will mean Life leech/LGoH will heal me up between hits (in theory). My defense should be solid with a combination of block, dodging, evading, and endurance charges. one or two ungils will be used to give even more block since I don't care about the damage of cyclone (only EK)

Gems:
Tabula rasa = Cyclone, BM, LL/LGOH, EK, EK, EK (or possibly blind)
4L = CWDT (mid level), Enduring cry, Inc Duration, Molten Shell
4L = CWDT (low level), EK, PCoC, LL/LGoH(or another EK or possibly blind)
4L(alpha howl?) = Reduced Mana, Auras
3L = CWS (or high level CWDT), Immortal call, Inc Duration
3L = CWDT (low level), Curse, Inc AoE

The only socket colors that would be hard to get would be GRRR on an EV piece of gear. But I could always end up with an EV/AR hybrid.

The damage might not be AS high, but I don't think you can go wrong with 2-3 high level EK's on cyclone. I feel that he CWDT EK's are not a good enough way to kill mobs.


PS - The IR version of this if acrobatics doesn't pan out:

Higher HP, Crit, block and armor than the OP's build at the cost of aura buffs

Not sure your gems make sense. LGOH won't work. You also don't have a trigger for your three EK spells. The whole point of this build is to max crit which triggers the EK through Cast on Critical Strike. Not taking CoCS and removing critical strike nodes runs antithetical to that.
You take acrobatics in combination with Evasion, which you don't appear to have nearly enough nodes.

ah yea typo on my part, there's a COC in there instead of the 3rd EK

also forgot about LGoH not affecting spells, it still works on cyclone but I'll probably jsut have some in my gear, not gem

I was thinking of using Theif's torment and dropping BM too
