Dominion's Hardcore Dual-Spark CI Witch - UPDATED for 1.0.1

Regarding the question about Totem characteristics being based on dynamic or static conditions, I found this helpful thread, http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/236284. (Dynamic is the way it works. Each cast of a sparks spell by the totem is going to see how many power charges the character has.)

I just found my first 5l as a sporker and was wondering what the arguments are against the supports listed below, when compared to the ones suggested in the guide (Lightn Pen & Incr Crit Dmg), i'm having a hard time testing the difference..

- Elemental Proliferation (Is the Shock chance already high enough due to crit chance?)
- Faster Projectiles (FCR+Fork maybe is quick enough at filling a room already?)
- Greater Multiple Projectiles (For both, maybe FCR+Fork already creates more than enough sparks, especially considering a second damage penalty (Same but even more for Chain)?)
- Empower (Is this also outclassed damagewise?)

[edit] let's go even more complete:
- Iron Will (How crazily high would my Str need to be to outperform Crit Dmg (or Lightn Pen))
- Added Chaos Dmg (how easily is this outclassed damage wise, considering it also bypasses most res?)

What I'm curious about, is what if we take out lightning pen and crit dmg and replace them with cast on crit and ice nova or cold snap (if it bypasses cooldown)?

First off does it cast at the location of the crit and secondly, would this not be basically the ultimate solo/cc spec? With the already high crit chance everything on screen would be shocked and frozen and never be able to do anything.

Would this work, or are the mechanics of cast on crit not set up to do that, especially with a totem.

First off, I'm a noob so don't think I know anything more that what I say here. :-) According to some totem threads that I reviewed the other day, e.g., http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/236284, totems get attributes from the person that cast the totem. I don't think they can get power charges on their own for example.

+1 :)

This build can be use in 1.0.0? I know that spark duration has been nerfed but his damage are up, am i right.

Bump from me as well. I abandoned my spork, I'm just curious as to how Dom feels about the 1.0 patch.

(Look Dom, they took your suggesting for RF WORD FOR WORD (40% +1 per level) I thought it was a perfect change.... and then they made it impossible to maintain on top of that..
