PoE Pathfinder, Spell builds without Viper Strike of the Mamba

I wanted to pair pathfinders def + tempered by war + mahuxotl machination (MM) last league but couldn't overcome the fact, that you cant regenerate life and the recovery by then (6% per flask) wasnt enough for me. This league this problem was solved by the PF rework, since life flask recovery isnt blocked by MM. So i started with TR and transitioned as soon as i got MM and a replica Sorrow if the divine. I have choosen FR just because its a cool fit, not because its the most potent skill. This is my current progress: This is what i aim for so far:

On ssf standard. Wondering if i should create a build around both of these or drop one. Most people I saw on ninja were only running one or the other. If I run both i am thinking about putting an aura set up in staff for lvl 7 enlighten. With both I hit dot cap rather easily, but I might struggle with defences a bit. I want this to be a bosser. So mainly wondering how i fit in more defence. Main things i can think of is purity watchers eye and progenesis. POB (Just something I threw together quickly, needs a few more things) &x200B;

Tried to make it very basic, day 1 type stuff, no uniques or clusters (although I included some that would be useful in the items). I'm hoping the PF flask regen is enough to sustain the self dmg. I'd assume leveling with BV/Concoction will be the play until more gear and higher level. Hoping that someone could help fine tune this, or let me know if it'll fail. The tree can be adjusted as gear comes up, clusters seem to be very good. At least 9 Ao
