[3.10] [Feedback request] Oni-Goroshi Raider

I haven't played Path of Exile since 2018. Back then I was quite fond of my Oni-Goroshi-wielding Raider.

====================================================================
BASICS
So this is an attempt to modernise the Engineering Eternity build I was using -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxEJx95OqS4 -- by using Torstein's comparable Berserker build -- https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2784358 -- to catch up with what's new in PoE.

Normally by mixing two competent builds I can't be too far off. But I'm well out of practice, so I wouldn't mind a reality check.

It's not an endgame built. I'm a fairly casual player, seldom getting to the red maps. And I chiefly play self-found.

====================================================================
GEMS

Oni-Goroshi #1 (clearing) -- 6L
Infernal Blow - Multistrike - Melee Physical Damage - Added Fire - Ancestral Call - Melee Splash

Oni-Goroshi #2 (boss - weapon swap) -- 6L
Blade Flurry - Concentrated Effect - Infused Channeling - Melee Physical Damage - Damage on Full life - Close combat

Auras -- 4 sockets
Herald of ash, Blood/sand, Flesh/stone, Dread banner (70% total mana reservation).

Mobility and bossing -- 2L, 2 sockets
Whirling blade - Fortify, Punishment, Ancestral protector.

CWDT - 3L on tombfist gloves
Cast when damage taken 2 - immortal call 4 - cold snap 8

====================================================================
GEAR

Core is a pair of oni-goroshi, plus a Kaom chest. I'll also use my old tombfists, I like them.

The build is INT-challenged to support Conc Effect and Infused Channelling. My plan is to spam a high-intrinsic white lapis amulet with shrieking essences of spite. That alone is 75-ish points of Intelligence, handling the issue. Hopefully it'll also get some life/resists.

This frees up everything else to simply be life and resists rares. At this point I'm not considering endgame stuff with speciality equipment.

I have some Darkray Vectors in my closet. But a single resist and no life is pushing it.

====================================================================
PASSIVES

Raider : Way of the poacher - avatar of the slaughter (the Frenzy ones), then rapid assault (the onslaught ones).

First stab at a passive tree -- https://tinyurl.com/y9ex85df . It goes to level 91 since that's where I usually stall. But it seems... I dunno, a bit stretched out.

====================================================================
OFFENSE
What you can see from the gems and the 6L weapons, plus raider-boosted 7 Frenzy charges, plus raider-boosted Onslaught. Plus intimidation from the tombfists, I guess..

The passives have okay-ish damage and crit increases, and even some physical pen. And all that DEX generates high Accuracy. But I'm clearly focusing on life, frenzy charges and leech.

====================================================================
DEFENSE
Acrobatics, Phase Acrobatics, high Evasion, massive amounts of leech, enhanced evade chances, blind, fortify (from whirling blade repositioning), immunities from the oni-goroshi, phasing, and 20 pounds of life in a 15 pounds bag.

My reflexes are awful, so I favour error-tolerant builds. Hence the emphasis on life, passive evasion, and raising the leech cap.

====================================================================
DOES SOMETHING SEEMS OFF?
Thx.
