Has anyone tried using Frenzy to keep up frenzy charges during boss fights?

Looking for some suggestions for gear updrages. Moving up to T15 maps but I feel like my damage is a bit low. Struggling to find upgrades that don't cost 5ex+ though.

5600 HP, 1300 ES.

Would spending the currency on regrets to clean up my skill tree (slightly different than OP's) be my best bet for gaining some more damage?

Thanks for any helpful responses.

EDIT**: Also, I have the currency to buy a Varunastra + respec on my tree accordingly, would this be the most efficient use of my currency to gain better dps without sacrificing defense?

My three jewels are:

5% atk speed - 6% max life - 12% fire and cold res
15% phys with axes - 6% max life - 10% all res
13 dex - 7% life - 10% cold and lightning

One of the other major problems is keeping my resists above the ele weakness threshhold, as well as the dex requirements on high level riposte and vaal haste gems.

Feels like I've built my gear to meet all bare minimum requirements, any time I want to change a piece of gear or some nodes on my tree I end up spending 2 hours on poe.trade looking for that perfect piece without sacrificing other stats.

I've been running with Arctic Armour + Herald of Ice and Herald of Ash, as I didn't have Soul Taker and I've been using this axe:

I've just gotten +25% to Herald of Ice damage enchant on this helm:

Which happened the same day that I chanced this Soul Taker axe:

So now I don't know if I should use a lesser DPS Soul Taker axe, and swap to Hatred + a Herald (if so, which Herald - considering the helmet enchant)

Or stick with the higher DPS axe, and use my Mana Leech ring + Boot enchant:

Spoiler

So, I guess TL;DR ~ Does +25% Increased Herald of Ice enchant mean It's be better to run Arctic Armour + Herald of Ice + Hatred ~ Or does Herald of Ash still beat HoI despite the enchant?

thanks for answer my questions @mas_mariano

well.. i will test Varunastra+6L+Aegis, already bought armor 6L and Varunastra (53% increased physical dmg, add 45 - 87 phy dmg )

And in Passive Tree I took the 3 points from "Hatchet Master" and 4 Points from "Spliting Straikes".. And used these points in "Deadly Dilettante"(4points) and "By the Blade"(3 points) .
But to my surprise my damage dropped oO .The damage to the sword was not to have increased a lot?
what do you think?

Thank you for this cool build. It's incredibly tanky and kind of fast for map clearing with sunder and 5 endurance charges. I've yet to get the last 2 ascendancy points, but i can't wait to see things explode once i get Gratuitous violence. Only one more trial to go and then it's uber lab time.

Once i got the last two ascendancy points i'll spec into the two bleed nodes(dirty techniques and bloodletting) near duelist and start using a voidheart.

I don't know how to link my tree and gear, but you can look on my profile it's all unlocked.

Still enjoying this build a lot - lvl 88 atm with 4.8 k life and buffed 100 k damage.

I have one (possibly dumb) question:

What's the main reason for using Herald of Ash + Added Fire instead of Herald of Thunder and Added Lightning? Because of the burning damags? I was just thinking that shocking enemies might be even better - am I (totally) wrong?
