League mechanic (scourge) is 90% spell damage, and we have 25% spell block, thus complete dogshit?

What am I missing?

More HP and more Leech?

I'm currently at 70% spell suppression. Picked up magebane and reflexes and got some spell suppression on my boots/shield. Could cap if I could get a decent body armour with suppression.

No does not work like that. That is totally different thing. If you need spell block you need to pick " versalite combat" but with it your blocks will be 50/50. after GGG move versalite combat to skill tree right now real block limits are 50/50 (theorically you can have 57 with dualist)
That means block builds kicked bad in this league for dualist.
its not a league starter build checked and failed :) you cant even kill some mid level yellow bosses with this build.

I'm 73 running T4 maps. Its going...ok. Last league I was a Herald of Purity and Cyclone build. I just spun around everywhere. This is a bit more involved.

Reave
Vaal Reave
Double Strike
Vaal Double Strike
Ancestral Warchief
Flasks
Steelskin

When am I doing what?

So far I've been Reave most of the time.

Vaal Double Strike when available.

Vaal Reave when its a boss; but its a pain because am I stuck in position?

Double Strike when at a boss, but other Vaal skills are down.

Ancestral Warchief as needed.

Mashing Steelskin and Flasks non-stop

Do I have that right?

He included a section on page 1 that details how to optimize damage for bosses. From the top of my head, right before a boss:
- Pop both ancestrals (make sure warchief is vaal)
- Pop vaal double strike (or blade flurry later? Not sure if that's still in the build...)
- Pop Blood Rage
- Blood stance

AFAIK Vaal Reave is better for clear than for bossing... don't use it as much for single target.

Blood rage too? What is that linked to?

Running out of keybinds, heh

In the guide there is GEMS section, might be a little outdated with some gems, but you should read it aswell.

Assign Steelskin to left mouse button, that way it will be used whenever you move (if its not on cooldown ofc).

Totems are usefull when you want to boost your damage on bosses or harder enemies. Vaal Ancestral Warchief boosts your damage by 32% when active, and Ancestral Protector boosts attack speed when active. Place one of each near the boss or before entering scourge (or whenever you feel you need dmg boost).

The Boyz (Vaal Double Strike) are here to help with bosses/harder enemies aswell.

You should never use normal Double Strike. Dont bother with normal Ancestral Warchief aswell.

Playstyle should look like this. Load in to the map, check if all auras are on. Press Blood Rage (duration is like 10sec but it refresh when u kill enemy), press flasks, jump (Leap Slam) into the pack (or somewhere close to the pack) use NORMAL Reave, when you reach 4 normal reave stages (reave icon in top left corner on your screen) then you can use VAAL REAVE on another monster pack to get your reave stages to 8. After that use NORMAL Reave. Re-cast blood rage if it expires, and press flasks from time to time. When you meet with the boss place Vaal Ancestral Warchief, Ancestral Protector, all your Vaal Double Strike clones and start Reavin'

Press VAAL Reave only if you loose youre stages and want them back.

Great help. Thanks.
