Caustic Arrow of Poisoning and Affliction Charges - does it work the way I think?

I've been running a Poison Caustic Arrow Ballista build (very close to Palestron's), but have come across a tweak which seems to have boosted the damage significantly, but which I haven't seen mentioned in conjunction with the build, so wanted to check my understanding is correct.

In short I've switched out the Belt and Boots for Oledya's Delight and Ralekesh's Impatience. My understanding is that the boots are giving me the effect of max Frenzy/Endurance/Power charges (even though I can't see them), but separately my Frenzy Right-click stacks up Affliction charges.

The end result being 6 Frenzy charges at 4% More and 4% Attack/Cast speed each (both counting due to Wilma's), and 6 Affliction Charges at 8% More with Ailments each (as well as 3 Endurance charges and 3 Power Charges as a bonus).

Hard to be sure that it's working as above (affliction and frenzy both applying at the same time, also both being applied by ballistas on the Poison DoT etc), but does that sound roughly right/is there some interaction I've overlooked which makes it a bad idea?
