Ok, thanks for the explanation. My thinking was the blind would add an extra layer of defense, since you are shield dashing/flame dashing into packs. Also, Blind also works on bosses, particularly those that are melee based. When you are fighting the bosses, you are constantly dashing around the boss, and dropping vortexes. Blind works on hit, meaning only initial hit of vortex.

Since Vortex "chills" enemies caught into it, would the - cold res not apply to enemies, and work for dot damage? I guess I am confused by the wording and how game mechanics work.

The other mods it has is dex (for green gem req) and cold damage %, and cold resist. The amulet is pretty cheap compared to Aul's. I think Aul is pretty much BiS, because it allows you to have enough mana to run Hatred, which is a pretty huge dps boost.

Hi,
if trying this as a league starter, how would it work with the leveling, could i just use the endgame skills, or should i go another way ?

I have the inside info, and was told to use:

Freezing pulse to level 12
Blade vortex + Storm brand to 12-16.
Storm Brand + Cold snap to 16-28.
28+ go Vortex + Cold snap
