You should definitely drop herald of Fire, the damage it gives you is negligible. I would drop the life flask or the basalt, depending on the boss fight. If it's an heavy physical damage fight, like Atziri's trio, I would use the basalt (crafting it with remove bleed). Most of the time I do not think it's worth using life flask atm, they cannot compare with the utility ones.

Thanks for the suggestions. Should I replace herald of ash with another aura or just have the extra mana?

It depends.. I believe that if you really want to reserve any mana, you should use blasphemy with temporal chains and/or enfeeble. Otherwise just leave it unreserved and use MoM to increase your EHP.

Why do a lot of people use magic items though? Did I miss something in this league that made magic items great?

Couple questions:

1. What is the best helmet enchant for bosses? Increased BV duration (more blades = more damage),
increased BV damage, or increased temp chains effect (increases the poison duration, although curses have less effect on bosses)

2. What are the best damage jewel mods? I think top priority are increased damage, increased area damage, and increased chaos for double dipping, but what is after that? Increased phys or increased DOT?

1- Increased Temporal Chains effect is really strong and probably the best one (combination of offensive and defensive bonus), but also the blade vortex ones are cool (all 3 choices offer some good bonuses). All in all I do not think there's any mandatory helm enchant for this build, don't go too crazy for that, even more considering how expensive they can be.

2- As you can read in the jewels paragraph (in the gear breakdown), those three affixes are the best one. Then there are phys damage, spell damage (normal and while dual wielding) and DoT damage, in no particular order, since the damage difference between those is actually negligible.
