I have some questions.

Would it be viable to use a carcass jack armor instead of lightning coil?
Or are we supposed to cap all resist even with an extra -60% lightning resist?

And in the case we might not cap lightning resist, is it still that much better to convert 30% of phys dmg to lightning dmg, making it still worth using lightning coil?

For softcore A carcass jack is an okay alternative, just keep in mind it may be hard to get the right colored sockets.

For HC a lightning coil is without a doubt the best. In that case you will have to make up for the -60% res and still cap your character at 75% =)

Where fortify gem?
Why not take passives bonus for while fortify?
If start duelist, why not take passives increase a HUGE phys% / atk speed % with 2hand weapon.
Why not take life% on three scicion?

ur build isnt a hardcore build. hardcore build melee focus in fortify, life leech, imune stun.

edit: for hardcore, is viable take 3 passives for knockback chance. help alots agaisnt large mobs.
HC again, run hatred+artic armor instead herald ash.
Use vengance+curse on hit+any curse+endurance when stun.
cwtd lvled+molten shell+IC+ID
cwtd low lvl+IC+ID+ice nova

edit again: dont use phys to light, it ill be ruin ur life leech physcal dmg. (but if would use phys to light, change melee/add fire to wed)

EQ+fortify+less duration+aoe+melee phys. or if u use fortify with leap slam and use marohi, use:
EQ+melee+less duration+LL+multi
