PoE Frost Blades, League Starter, Melee builds

Hey guys, I just wanted to make sure with experts that I understood everything correctly : I'm playing Frost Blades Trickster in SSF (leaguestarted it... it went how you can guess). However I got to farming T16, still getting slapped by Essences because for some reasons i have 159 armor etc but that not what this post is about.
