I have played this build for a week, reached level 84. It is very active and fun to play.
Firstly, I thought this build is a faceroll build, but is based on the kiting using the spectral throw.
I can clear normal and weak rare mobs with spectral throw quickly without double strike.
When I need to use double strike is for encountering rare or unique mobs that does not killed easily by spectral throw and also does not have very strong physical melee attacks(i.e. Colonnade, Orchard Boss, Crazy map unique bosses).
Defense structure of this build against physical damage only relies on armour rate, life leech, and maximum life. Struck by huge physical damage, armour rate is useless. And different from cyclone build which doesn't block also, this build uses double strike which makes difficult to evade strong attacks.
So when I encounter the boss which have strong melee physical attacks, I kite it with spectral throw for a long time(weak), or wait for the boss casting long delaying skills that I can hit and run, or just give up. This build cannot stand with strong attacks. So hit and run, evading is really essential. So It's fun. Small mistake will make my character instant death. Don't try to kill those crazy bosses. And take life nodes and items more than you've planned. Without that this build is excellent to play. Thanks for the guide.

Is Unwavering Stance worth taking? I think that if you have high HP you can invest the 3 skillpoints in something else.
