Both of those add wonderful DPS and survivability to the build. Congrats, you are going to love the upgrade!
What would be the best links on a 4 link setup for blade blast?
Fair warning about mana. Make sure you don't hit zero cost of Bladeblast after using Cinderswallow. If you do, you won't be able to generate Inpsiration charges and you will deal significantly less damage. Took me some time to figure it out.

are there any recommendations for glove or boot enchants?




We also have some good belt enchant choices, however I think those are small bonuses
* Hits against Enemies Unnerved by you have 50% increased Spell Critical Strike Chance
* 30% reduced Effect of Curses on you while on Consecrated Ground
* Enemies Taunted by you deal 5% less Area Damage
* Enemies Blinded by you have 30% reduced Critical Strike Chance (Personally I'm looking for this one, just due to the explosive glove I'm using)


imo for belt ench the unnerv is the best, it makes EO procinc alot better, since controlled destruction almost remove crit chance on the BB, and with 50% more makes BF and tempest shield much more likely to substain. and since we get free unnerv to anything hit by bb its very smooth.

well think there is some balance here. BF does pretty good damage to. the ability to take out even decent hard rares in the combo of the Explody detonations and the bladefalls without needing to BB. not saying that max lvl is 100% the best solution if it makes your overall substain of spamming the skill to low. propperly a adjusted lvl depending of how much mana substain you got is the right way to go. luckly its super easy to lvl some lvl 12- 15- 17 gems for testing. good observations to bring into the build!

agreed.

This is one small benefit of the Diadem build since it has no mana issues, maxed out Bladefall can do some really decent work clearing trash.

I like to add that usualy it is enough to cast Blade Blast without Bladefall on big packs of trash mobs. Just dash in, cast one BB and the explody chain takes care of the rest. This is way faster since BB cast is instant. Also i encourage everyone to try out dash over flame dash, i like it much more for mapping.

Having a blast with the build, I tried to do Uber Atziri with Sybil's and Pantheon. Still died to reflect (I think?) did I do something wrong or do I just have to git gud?

Was BB recently changed to be instant? The wiki says it has a cast time of .5 seconds

https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Blade_Blast

It is not listed as having the instant tag either
