I do think it's possible still, but would require very drastic changes to the build like managing cost efficiency elsewhere, so imo probably not worth the hassle for now to get a weaker build with higher investment. But new things in the future may change this : )

According to the updated patch notes, His Scattering Calamity no longer costs mana. Do you think that's enough?

where have you found this information? I can't find it in the patch notes for 0.5

maybe Time of Need can be skipped with some sources of spell life leech (like The Covenant body armor) + Undying Hate (Tecrod) Jewel for massive life regen?

It's in the updates section at the end. The most recent update.

His Scattering Calamity now has a Mana Cost of 0 (previously 3-37 at Gem levels 1-20).

Dusk vigil can also have it's affix taken by the new rune to slot into another staff. So potentially every calamity cast could proc ember fusilade?

That would be sick

The point isn't if we can cast it, the point is that it would drain absurd amounts of life.
The variant i'm playing is from 787Prada, with Archmage and full conversion to MoM+EB, so mana is life. Life was then used to fuel Cast of Crit + Arc and also Cast on Minion Death + Ember fussilade, killing own wolfpack to trigger it 20 times a second in addition to Calamity.
Time of need provided life regen to sustain this, but now it's gone...

​​​An initial idea I have is to either drop Atalui completely for damage nerf, or keep it, but change helmet from Vertex (dead) to a rare one with spirit and swap body armour to The Covenant (spell life leech + life remnants) plus Undying Hate jewel (Tecrod variant) for massive life regen from life spent in last 4 seconds... maybe it would work without time of need, this would still have to sustain CoC arc, CoMD ember fussilade at least.

Reference character (fastest clear I've ever seen):

​We will still need some way to regenerate life rapidly because of this setup with CoMD ember fussilade + CoC arc, which will drain huge amounts of life. I will probably make it as a second character in the league and try to get around the Time of Need somehow :(

We could use Voices to get additional jewel slots, then go for Flesh Crucible with any of our keystones (MoM, EB, Blackflame) and then just desecrate existing one with Tecrod Undying Hate to get Sacrifice of Blood passive (regenerate 1 life per 16 life spent in the last 4 seconds). Blood Mages used to run it back in the day. This + Cannibalism + spell leech from The Covenant (and life rememnants on the ground) should hopefully (big MAYBE) give enough life regen to sustain huge crits with Arc and Embers flying everywhere when wolves die, but it's just theory crafting
