I'll start off by saying that i think your characters are set to private, and therefore i can't see and tell you how you're doing.
if you'd like to consult after u change it up, let me know.

1) well, leveling is interesting with Assassin, as you get a whole bunch of damage nodes at the beginning.
My early progression was:
Trickery - Blood Siphon - Coordination - Elemental Focus - Assassination - Coldhearted Calculation - Nullification - Sniper
At this point i'd recommend getting the jewel socket and buying a First Snow Jewel (they sell very cheap or u can wait for act 5 to get one from a quest).
Work towards a second jewel socket, while starting to think about power charges which this build is HEAVILY based on.
When i got to this part i preferred the life nodes over the various damage nodes, which i pick up later on.

In terms of gem links - the best way to go about this in the future would be to use Path of Building, which offers you which gems could raise your DPS the most with your current set up.
PERSONALLY, and assuming you don't have a Tabula Rasa, i would probably use added cold damage, elemental proliferation, faster casting, then switch to elemental focus (lvl 18) and once you hit level 31 go for Elemental Focus and Ice Bite / Hypothermia. level 38 will give you Spell Echo and you would be free to use whatever feels best.

Gear - if u can't get you hands on a Tabula which i ran from level 20 to 72, get a rare chest with 4/5 sockets that match your needs. stats won't REALLY matter at this point.
Goldrim is like 4/5 c right now but if u can't get that, i ran Heatshiver for a while and it did OK.
rare boots with movement speed and Lochtonial Caress for gloves, or alternatively Doedre's Tenure.
Weapons - the build recommends 2 Axioms, but i had much higher DPS with a good rare scepter (look for ELE damage and spell damage, as well as flat added to spell damage).

These should really carry you to mid-late leveling super easy.

GENERAL - know that spells work differently from attacks. read up on what that means, but generally if something says "3 - 4 fire damage to attacks", that's useless for you.
Freezing Pulse damage is VERY affected by the level of the gem. massively. the majority of your damage boost will come naturally due to this, and you will gain a ton of damage as you level.
basically read up on what it means to use spells in this game.

2) Whirling Blades only work with daggers, claws and one handed swords.
We will not be using any of these, and therefore we can't use it :)

Good luck, PM if u have other questions.

I managed to set the private to off, and I would like to know how am I doing, still!

Got two jewels, I bought one and finished act 5 finally, got the second. just need to reach the jewel node now, so strong!
I already use path of building, but I don't know how to get that information you said about how to raise my dps the most with pob.
Right now, I am trying to buy one goldrim, looking for it on poetrade! I am having a really hard time trying to figure out sockets, gems, links, using orbs.. to make my skills connect.
Found one Axiom, dropped from a monster! that is great!

Thanks a lot for the info! Now you have the access to my character, it would be awesome if I got some further info from you =) thanks again.
