Notes

Prioritize saving for 6 link and White Wind.
Add Elemental Damage with Attacks for 5 link. 
Upgrading to 5 link on Frost Blades may require you to spec into the Thrill of Battle wheel + mana reservation mastery (3 passives) early to alleviate mana issues.
Maintain accuracy > max life as you increase life on gear and tree.
Ideal Axe mods: flat cold damage, inc. physical damage, adds physical damage, attack speed, accuracy. Bench crafting can help fill in a missing mod, compare them with pob.
Carnage Heart, Perseverance, and Darkray Vectors are all cheap (2c day 2 prices) and effective uniques. They are not mandatory but worth the investment.

Corrupt any jewels with %inc max life and attempt to get Corrupted Blood immunity. If you can't get one with life, any will work. Use Corrupted Blood/Bleed immunity Life Flask until you have one.
For passive tree progress, prioritize the Frenetic node and then filling out Blood Drinker and Herbalism wheels to bolster life. Next, drop the Marked for Death wheel and get the Mark the Prey wheel and mark mastery.
Graceful Assault and Armour and Evasion Mastery pair really well with Perseverance. If you opt for a rare belt instead, use Wrecking Ball and the inc damage with hits against rare and unique enemies mastery.
Complete Eternal Labyrinth as soon as you get an Offering to the Goddess. Eternal trials can start appearing in any T6+ map. Enduring Cry > Berserk > Assassin's Mark is still priority for gem quality from the Divine Font.
Once you have Brutal Fervour from ascendancy, Clever Thief and leech mastery become very good. Drop the single Mana Leech node once you have them. Decoy Totem also becomes unnecessary at this point.
Once you have a decent amulet you can annoint Weathered Hunter, spec into Acuity and grab the accuracy mastery from there, and reroute the top right part of tree coming from Duelist start to save a few passives.
Grab the Assured Strike wheel and the attack mastery node from there to replace the one lost from dropping Gladaitor's Perseverance.
