Mana leech and life leech are important to survive. If you got some little mana problem, focus on mana leech. If you want dammage, GMP or Faster Casting improve it. It improve the cast speed, so make sure to be able to sustain enough mana even if your cast speed is better.

Then the last gem can be Increased Crit chance or dammage. The quality on this is not really important. At least, if you got more than 40% critical strike chances without critical strike chance's gem, I think it's better to take cold penetration. Quality on cold penetration will improve your dammage by 10%.

Remember that most of these gems got a high mana multiplier. If you really got problems with mana, you can go on Faster Projectiles. It doesn't improve your DPS, it has a low mana multiplier, but it really increase your range. By improving your range, you will have more control. Also, for a mob at the same distance, you will deal more. I actually got some mana issues so I use faster projectile, and i think it's a good way to use your 6 link if you have mana issues.
What you think about spending 5 points on the left of Mental Acuity? 3 to 5% ele dmg and 2 to +12% spell dmg (question here, 5% elemental damage will raise dps on cold skills by the same number as +5% cold dmg?). Or better to go +increased effect of auras instead? Or maybe few nodes for cast speed? I like to have my tree planned ;p

yeah you can but the problem later will be getting VP, but it depends most on what league you are playing
signature?
After this +INT near Ghost Reaver, should i go straight for IR or is it not necessary yet and i can easy get all those nodes on the left, lets say to Freeze and then go for IR? I dont really know if i will be able to handle so long without IR, first time on witch.

You don't need IR at low levels. You can easily make normal and cruel without it, because you need to be able to run 2 auras before taking IR. IR is good only if you can run grace. So as you absolutely need discipline, and before level 60 you will have mana issues and run clarity or won't have the gear for mana, you can't run grace before level 60. I think you have to take IR around level 70. Then, if it's not done, rush the nod for mana reserved. Normaly, if you got some mana on your gear and all the nod, you will have 200+ mana left with 2 auras. It's enough to play FP if you got some leech.

At the moment, try focusing on the left part of the tree. The right part is good when you run grace. At least, you can go for the right part in first, around level 50 to 60, go for the mana reserved nod, and then rush IR. I think Makavelit0t0 will agree me =)
Ye i plan to run with discipline+clarity and then change clarity for grace (or purity of elements for some places, depends) because 3 lvl clarity is not giving so much later, so i think you are right, thanks.
Im pretty squishy. is there something that i can do to get myself better?

I can barely farm docks on cruel. (i am lvl 55)

Go for an ES helmet and a Chain Belt with around 30/40 ES. Around lvl 50/60 with discipline, you can get between 2000 and 3000 ES, depending on the gear. Try getting some resistances on your ring and amulet.
the reason for my rings and ammy is that i need the stats so i can use my gems
