I see a lot of wands with physical damage on it, how are we utilizing this here?
or is it mostly during leveling and later get more appropriate lightning + cold damage weapons ?

It really kind of depends, i cant speak for everyone but in my particular case a completely physical dps wand is the best choice. I've decided to convert all my damage over to elemental to make the most use of incandescent. Physical is the first step in the conversion chain and by utilizing mods with #% oh physical gained as extra elemental, I benefit most from starting with all phys. Then I benefit again from #% of elemental gained as extra chaos. Damage conversion page on poe wiki does a great job explaining this. In short even though I've converted all my damage to elemental, I still benefit from the %gained from phys because they happen pre conversion.

How do you convert Phys -> Elemental? Is it just the support gem?

So it can happen a bunch of ways. In my case of the three skills I use Power Siphon is converted with a 50% Phys to Lightning gem and the other 50% via Hrimsburn gloves. Glacial cascade converts 60% via itself and the remaining is converted again with hrimburn. Wave of conviction is the same. You could also make use of Call of the Brotherhood which then converts that lightning to cold as the author suggests. Its important to note that you cant go both ways with conversions, you can skip ahead as I have done with Hrim but its more effective to convert from one stage to the next sequentially.

Physical → Lightning → Cold → Fire → Chaos

Currently I'm doing yellow maps T8~T10... and the results are not satisfying unfortunaly, I know my equipments still not good but I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel even after some upgrades... I'm not sure what I can do to fix this, my HP is pretty low right now, 3,4k only and there only 3 nodes left of HP to add... survivability is pretty bad even with acrobatics/phase... also the dmg is starting to become pretty low, for bosses, struggling to kill even Hunter boss at yellow maps

here is my gear:

Your issue is that you are missing most of the important pieces of gear.
The build does fairly poor damage until you get one Call of the brotherhood, then the second one.

The Lightning -> Cold conversion means you double/triple the efficiency of all these "+x% damage" all around on your tree and equipment. Try to get these and you'll see a big difference in damage!

As for life, you can never get a lot of it. Around 4k is the good minimum to target so that you avoid most one-shots. Then the usual "never stay in the same place more than half a second" applies for all squishy builds :)
