The Framework: https://pobb.in/WXUHxlh1lRd4
My most recent final product with it - Dual Strike of Ambidexterity: https://pobb.in/YCXgut95VUqI Note that I farmed the mageblood playing this build, so it is absolutely not required.
Instead of a full build I wanted to show the defensive framework I made use of the past few times I've made a Boneshatter build, since the core of it can be used with any weapon or skill relying on Trauma stacks. The core of it is to take a Juggernaut Bonezone build and add Energy shield as a defensive layer, using Arctic Armour, Divine Shield, and Petrified Blood to dramatically boost survivability. With Divine Shield and enough attacks per second, we can treat our ES as unbreakable Ward, and all the damage that hits our ES still grants us life recoup. Because we reserve just a hair under 50% life, and can't fully heal thanks to petrified blood, we also have slayer overleech.
Another thing it takes advantage of is the Blitz Forbidden jewel to turn crit into more attack speed for higher trauma stacks and open up another avenue for damage scaling. 28-30 passive points remain unspent to be invested as one sees fit, in my case I opted for two large clusters with Quick and Deadly because I was doing a Dual Strike Trauma build, plus Introspection for more mana reservation efficiency and a mace crit notable.

Additional comments:
For transitioning into the hybrid Life/ES setup, Replica Soul Tether is extremely strong for getting a large chunk of ES, at the cost of 50% of damage ignoring ES. Depending on the user this may actually be preferable to better leverage Jugg's life sustain, but I myself don't feel comfortable doing it without at least 30% recoup against physical hits from implicits/rings/anoints.
A mana recoup veiled mod is extremely strong since we'll constantly be taking massive hits from ourselves, and can absolutely work for no leech maps in a pinch
The framework leaves it to you to decide how you wish to free up the mana for auras, I like Introspection but Helmet + Charisma anoint are options as well.
The amulet is intentionally left blank for you to decide what you want with it. Had I kept playing the league I would have tried to shuffle stats around to fit Ashes of the Stars in, myself.
