Crit / meteor build

[MongoJerry]

How are you dealing with Jailor/Arcane, Monty? Are things dying too fast to really matter at this point?

One thing I noticed about this build is that it's also very good at off screen kiting when needed. I've run across a few packs (Jailor/Waller/Frozen + Fast + Arcane) that still would pose a threat if I played careless. With Astral Presence and +AP/AP on Crit gear I'm able to lead them into my Meteors while running away until I don't see an Arcane beam, then run in frost nova + spectral blade to build AP, then run out when seeing beams/frozen orbs and meteor kite them back.

I'm currently using this skill set.

Are you still using this build (with Critical Mass instead of Evocation, of course)? If I were to replace Hydra with Mirror Images/Duplicates, would I be at a terrible disadvantage in some situations?

Also, why choose Deep Cuts versus Healing Blades or Thrown Blades? Do the bleed effects trigger crits as well?
