Hi I'm new to this game and I had a couple mechanics questions I didn't really understand about this build.

1: If you have 100% mana reservation, where do you get the mana to sustain cwdt-molten shell-ic?

2: If you don't have life gain on hit, what allows you to leech life for cyclone? Does physical damage leech count or is it something else?

Thanks for the help!

So you use the Bloodmagic Support gem which takes the mana cost out of your life instead of your mana pool.

You gain some life leech on the tree and mostly from the bloodrage spell which give you physical life leech which is more than enough to sustain our life

I found the Belly myself but I want to eventually replace it with a lightning coil.... but I wanted to ask - which is better to get first? Lightning Coil or Taste of Hate? The 30% extra dps as cold seems really tempting.

I'd tend for Lightning Coil first, both are a 22.5% physical damage mitigation but Lightning Coil is 100% of the time while you got to activate Taste of Hate for that.
Taste of Hate is a nice DPS boost AND a mitigation (hence its price), but i'd say Coil is safer as it's a permanent effect (of course you have to get 60% more lightning resist for it to work).
If you want to change a flask go for Atziri's Promise first, it's like 1-3 Chaos and will bring you some nice dps too. In term of dps gained by money invested Atziri does win over Taste of Hate by far ;)
Coil + Atziri's Promise is 1ex and 1-2 Chaos (unless HC's prices are very differents?) while Taste is 2ex. You end with the same gain for half the price. Of course if you're not money starved and don't plan on getting an Atziri's Demise you take the 3 items.

Since using axe I cannot use vaal ground slam. Tried vaal lightning strike and not impressed...

Now I am using vaal molten shell, but the annoying thing is the cwdt-linked normal molten shell will override the vaal one when it's triggered...

Any good tips on vaal gem? or maybe just bypass the vaal and get something else?

You can vaal cyclone, Vaal haste/grace or scare your party members with vaal detonate dead. Aside from that your basically outa vaal skills. Just run a larger leap slam + vengeance setup in your remaining 5-6l.

Thanks for replying!

I am in Talisman HC so I would rather skip vaal cyclone for now...
I decided to drop vaal gem and run 2 CWDT links.

CWDT - immortal call - blood rage - increased duration
CWDT - molten shell - summon flame golem - warlord's mark
